SEGOVIA (Segovia). As. (Ae. 9.33g / 25mm). 30-20 BC Anv: Head of Augustus on the right, on both sides CL. Rev: Rider with spear to the right, below legend: SEGOVIA. (FAB-2193). VF. Very rare and beautiful specimen. Dark patina.

City belonging to the Arévacos and strategically located on the route between Emerita and Caesaraugusta, whose Segovia inscription leaves no doubt about the location of this city, which emits a single emission of Iberian metric, on the obverse of which we can see a male head between the Latin letters C and L. On the reverse the protagonism is, once again, for the spear rider. It is probable that this emission coincides in time with those of Secobris (Segobriga) and that of Conterbia Cárbica.
