VICUS HE´LENAE
VICUS HE´LENAE in Gallia, mentioned by Sidonius Apollinaris (
Major. Carm. 5. 216), in the country of the Atrebates; but geographers disagree about the site. Some place it at
Hedin or
Hesdin, on the
Canche, but that river is in the country of the Morini. Others fix it at a place called
Lens, and others in other places. (Ukert,
Gallien.)
