Note See now P.P. Ripollès and J.M. Abascal, Las Monedas de la Ciudad Romana de Segobriga (Saelices, Cuenca) (Barcelona/Madrid, 1996). From a fragment of pedestal, dated to 15 BC, in which an unknown decretum decurionum is recorded, J. M. Abascal, R. Cebrián and M. Trunk, La decoración arquitectónica en las ciudades romanas de Occidente, S. F. Ramallo (ed.), Murcia, 2004, pp. 219-220, suggest Segobriga was already then a municipium of Latin right.
