Segobodium
SEGOBO´DIUM in Gallia, placed in the Table on a road from Andomatunum (Langres) to Vesontio (Besançon). The Itin. gives the same road, but omits Segobodium. D'Anville supposes Segobodium to be Seveux, which is on the Saône, and in the direction between Besançon and Langres.
[G.L]Way station mentioned by the Antonine Itinerary as lying on the road from Vesontio (Besançon) to Andematunnum (Langres). The name survives in the name Seveux, the village at the point where the Roman road crosses the river on a bridge, and in the name Savoyeux, the village on the other bank. The two sites have yielded remains from the Roman period. In the woods of Membrey, the large villa described in the 19th c. as having 50 rooms, should apparently be associated with the station.
