Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SCY-SHA
SEGUSIO (mod. Susa, q.v.) , an ancient town in north Liguria the
capital
  of the Cottii (see CoT'rII REGNUM). Here the son of King Donnus, Cottiuswho held the rank of imperial praefect over the fourteen tribes over which his father had ruled as king, so that in the inscription he calls himself " M. Iulius regis Donni f(ilius) Cottius praefectus civitatium quae subscriptae sunt "erected a triumphal arch in honour of
Augustus
  in 9-8 B.C., which is still
standing
 . The style of the sculptures on the
frieze
  is quite barbaric, with archaic elements, and is probably derived from Gaul. His tomb, situated near the city walls, mentioned by Ammianus
Marcellinus
 , has long since disappeared.
Claudius
  restored the royal titles to the family; but, after the death of its last member, Nero made the
district
  into a province, and the town into a municipium. It was strongly fortified and garrisoned, and remains of its walls, including those of a
double
 -arched gate, exist, while
inscriptions
  testify to its importance, one of them mentioning baths erected by Gratian. Constantine captured the town, which offered some resistance to him, on his march against
Maxentius
 .
