Several incinerations belonging to the so-called necropolis of the plots numbers 45 and 46 in Segobriga contained elements of locks and metal fittings in brass and iron, corresponding to seven wooden caskets (“capsae”). They are dated in the second half of the 1st century AD and mainly they contained personal female care items and cosmetics. They were burned at the same time as the deceased, in a widespread funeral practice throughout the Roman provinces. We present here the review and study of these materials with a typological approach to the cases considering other specimens known elsewhere in the Empire
