Gallic tribe
The Segovii (Gaulish: *"Segouioi", 'the victorious, powerful') were a Gallic tribe dwelling in the Alpes Cottiae, around present-day Cesana Torinese and Montgenèvre, during the Iron Age.
Name.
They are attested as "Segoviorum" on the Arch of Susa.
The ethnonym "Segovii" is a latinized form of Gaulish *"Segouioi". It derives from the root "sego"-, meaning 'victory, force'. It is comparable with the feminine forms "Segouia" (Segovia) and "Segauias" (now Göfis).
Geography.
The Segovii dwelled around the towns of Gaesao/Tyrium (modern Cesana Torinese) and Druantium (Montgenèvre; also named *"Alpis Cottia" and "Summae Alpes"). Their territory was located south of the Belaci, north of the Brigianii and Quariates, and east of the Ucenni. The settlement of Ad Fines (modern Fenils) may have been the border between the territories of the Segovii and Belaci.
History.
They are mentioned on the Arch of Susa, erected by Cottius in 9–8 BC.
