VENEDICUS SINUS
VENEDICUS SINUS (
Οὐενεδικὸς κόλπος,
Ptol. 3.5.1), a bay of the Sarmatian ocean, or
Baltic, named after the Venedae who dwelt upon it.
It lay to the E. of the Vistula, and was in all probability the
Gulf of Riga; a view which is strengthened by the name of
Vindau belonging to a river and town in
Courland. [
