Vindelicia

VINDELICIA, in ancient geography, a country bounded on the south by Rhaetia, on the north by the Danube and the Vallum Hadriani, on the east by the Oenus (Inn), on the west by the territory of the Helvetii. It thus corresponded to the north eastern portion of Switzerland, the south-east of Baden, and the south of Wurttemberg and Bavaria. Together with the neigh

bouring tribes it was subjugated by Tiberius in 15 B.C., and towards the end of the ist century A.D. was made part of Rhaetia.
