The municipality of Tardajos (834 inhabitants in 2012; 1,280 ha) is located in the center of the Province of Burgos, 10 km from Burgos.
Tardajos is the site of the Celtiberian town of Deobrigula,
established by the Turmogi. Originally built on a hill located between
rivers Arlanzón and Urbel, the town was moved down after to the plain after the Roman conquest. Deobrigula is the diminutive form of
Deobriga, a town established by the neighbouring Autrigones.
The town is mentioned by Ptolemy (II, 6, 51) and on the Antonine
Itinerary (449, 6; 454, 3), as located on ways XXXII and XXXIV,
between Segisamone (Sasamón) and Tritium (Monasterio de Rodilla). The identification of Deobrigula with Tardajos, proposed by Solana in 1976, was confirmed by recent excavations. Earlier proposed sites for the old town are Rabé de las Calzadas and Lodoso (L. Sagredo San Eustaquio. Las monedas con leyenda ibérica en Deobrigula, HAnt XXIX-2005, 27-42).
The archeological site of Deobrigula in Tardajos was declared a place
of cultural interest by a Decree adopted on 11 November 1992 by the
Directorate General of Cultural Heritage and Promotion, published on
23 November 1992 in the official gazette of Castilla y León, No. 226 (text).
