Vicus Helenae

Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography

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 Hedinor 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.)
