COLLIPO (S. Sebastião do Freixo) Beira Litoral, Portugal.

Mentioned by Pliny (HN 4.21) among the oppida of Lusitania, it was probably in S. Sebastião do Freixo, near Azoia and in the district of Bataiha. Trial excavations have revealed a pottery kiln, the foundations of an important building, and a statue of a magistrate of the 1st c. A.D. The objects are in the Gabinete de Etnografia in Leiria.
