Vindonissa

Now Windisch; a town in Gallia Belgica, on the triangular tongue of land between the Aar and Reuss. It was an important Roman fortress in the country of the Helvetii ( Hist. iv. 61, 70). Some Roman remains are still to be seen here, among them the traces of an amphitheatre, an aqueduct, and the foundations of walls.
