Vindelicia

In ancient geography, Vindelicia is a country bounded on the south by Raetia, 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 northeast portion of Switzerland, the southeast of Baden, and the south of Württemberg and Bavaria.

Together with the neighbouring tribes it was subjugated by Tiberius in 15 BC, and towards the end of the 1st century A.D. was made part of Raetia. Its chief town was Augusta Vindelicorum (Augsburg). Its inhabitants were probably of Celtic origin. Some authorities, however, regard them as German.
