In Spain, Justinian obtained Corduba, Assidona, Segontia , in reward of the assistance which he had rendered to Athanagild against a competitor for the throne.
The fact of Pompeius wintering among the Vaccæi is perhaps in favour of a north-west Segontia; but still I think that Saguntum was the battle-field. The letter of Pompeius to the Senate is in the third book of the Fragments of the Roman History of Sallustius.
Pompeius in his letter to the Senate speaks of the capture of the camp of Sertorius near Sucro, his defeat on the Durius, and the capture of Valentia. If the Durius be the Douro, this Segontia may be one of the towns called Segontia in the north-west of Spain. But the Durius may be the Turia, the river of Valentia, and Segontia may be Saguntum.
