Segodunum, Archaeological site in Rodez, France
The ancient settlement of Segodunum occupies a strategic hilltop location above the Aveyron River, where present-day Rodez stands.
The Gallic oppidum evolved into a Roman administrative center during the first century BCE, serving as the capital of the Ruteni people.
Archaeological excavations at Segodunum have revealed numerous artifacts, including pottery and funerary elements dating from the 1st century BCE to 4th century CE.
The site features a 30-kilometer aqueduct system that supplied water to the ancient settlement through an elaborate network of underground tunnels.
The name Segodunum combines Celtic words 'sego' meaning fort and 'dunon' meaning hill, reflecting the settlement's elevated defensive position.
