Segeda is an ancient settlement, near today's Zaragosa in modern-day Spain. Originally it was a Celtibrian town, whose inhabitants gave it the name Sekeida. In 153 BC it was destroyed in a war with the Romans. Soon after, a new settlement of the same name was built almost in the same site. It was under obvious Roman influence, due to the rectalinear layout of streets and other features. However, during the events of the Roman Civil War, this "Segeda II", as archeologists have named it, was again ruined, and after 49 BC it was abandoned permanently. Recently excavations have begun in the area, bringing this ancient settlement into prominence.
