VINDELICIA

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 92 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VAN-VIR
VINDELICIA , in ancient
geography
 , a country bounded on the S. by Raetia, on the N. by the
Danube
  and the Valium Hadriani, on the E. by the Oenus (Inn), on the W. by the territory of the Helvetii. It thus corresponded to the N.E. portion of Switzerland, the S.E. of Baden, and the S. of Wiirttemberg and
Bavaria
 . Together with the neighbouring tribes it was subjugated by Tiberius in 15 B.C., and towards the end of the 1st
century
  A.D. was made
part
  of Raetia (q.v.). Its
chief
  town was Augusta Vindelicorum (Augsburg). Its in-habitants were probably of Celtic origin (cf. the recurrence of Vind- in other Celtic namesVindobona, Vindonissa); some authorities, however, regard them as
German
 . According to Dio
Cassius
  (liv. 22) they were an agricultural
people
 , and later writers (e.g. Isidorus, Origines, i. 4), describe the country as very fertile.
