VINDANA PORTUS
VINDANA PORTUS (
Οὐίνδανα λιμήν), a bay on the north-west coast of Gallia (
Ptol. 2.8.1), and placed by Ptolemy between the mouth of the Herius [
HERIUS] and the Promontorium Gobaeum. D'Anville supposes the Vindana to be the bay of
Morbihan, at the bottom of which was the capital of the Veneti, now
Vannes. Other geographers have made other guesses: the bay of
Douarnez, the mouth of the
Blavet, and others still.
