Segoriacum
Segoriacum , or Segoricum , is the ancient name of a Roman vicus that has to be found near Worringen in the north of Cologne . The place name is handed down from a dedicatory inscription on an altar stone that has now disappeared. Archaeologically, the vicus has not yet been reliably located. In addition, Segoriacum is not recorded in any known ancient source. It is not listed in either the Antonini Itinerary or the Tabula Peutingeriana .
Franz Cramer suspected a horse changing station ( mutatio ) in Segoriacum , which can be assigned to the Roman equestrian camp Buruncum .
