Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography

GUNTIA


1. A town in Vindelicia, on the road leading from Campodunum to Augusta Vindelicorum. ( Itin. Ant. p. 250; Orelli, Inscript. no. 2054.) It is identified with the modern Ober-Günzburg, near the sources of the river Güinz.


2. ( Günz), a river in Vindelicia, and a tributary of the Danube; near its source the town of Guntia was situated. This river is not expressly mentioned by the ancients; but the town of the same name, and the expression, Danubii transitus Guntiensis(Eumen. Paneg. Const. 2), show that its name was known to them.
