A historic note from the internet: In ancient geography, Vindelicia is a country bounded on the south by Raetia, on the north by the Danube and the Hadrian's Limes Germanicus, 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. Its chief town was Augusta Vindelicorum (Augsburg). Its inhabitants, the Vindelici were probably Celtic (Gaulish) or Germanic, and a possible etymology of their name includes an element vind-cognate to Irish find- "white" (compare Ginevra). Together with the neighboring tribes they were subjugated by Tiberius in 15 BC. The Augustean inscription of 12 BC mentions four tribes of the Vindelici among the defeated. Condition: The map has light browning and a crease in the middle where it was part of a book. Other than that the map is in excellent condition with no tears or repairs and vivid colors. Please note that since the map was folded in a book, a faint imprint of each side is apparent on the opposite side. The map is not matted, however, it comes in a transparent plastic cover with cardboard to give it a strong backing. Please view our feedback and bid with confidence.
