There aren’t many professions found in texts but we know there were miners, scribes, stone workshops, people who worked in quarries and a doctor, Philoumeno the Greek.

Work toolsThere was a big metallurgical activity in the city. It

produced tools for agriculture, cattle raising and mining industry.

But we can’t forget about things as keys, nails and other dairy tools.

But working in quarries was probably the most important work.

Don’t forget capitals and molding for buildings in the city.

There also were another type of craftmen who made tools for mine workings.

CoinsCoin was the instrument for trade. Segobriga had got its own place to mint coins called ceca, in which there were minted five series of bronze coins.

Segobriga could mint around a million coins.
