SEGOBODIUM
(Seveux, Savoyeux) Haute-Saône,
France.
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.
