Arcobriga

Latin Etymology From la xce -, from a compound of la cel-pro *arkʷos bow + cel-pro *brigā hill, i.e. “bow-shaped hill”. Another suggested derivation from cel-pro *artos bear is dubious owing to the unexplained sound change to c; the connection to “bow” is solidified by images of bows found on local stelae. Pronunciation Arcobrīga Proper noun Arcobrīga<1.loc> la The name of three <<ancient>> <<town>>s in modern <<c/Spain>>, of which one has been securely located: A settlement of the Celtiberians in Hispania Tarraconensis.
