		The Vicus buried their dead in deep tombs the shape of a boot and buried with them offerings of gold and ceramic pottery in the forms of persons, animals, and strange mythological beings.

	Vicus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the history of the Roman empire, a vicus (pl. vicii) was an ad hoc provincial civilian settlement that sprang up close to and because of a nearby official Roman site, usually a military garrison or state-owned mining operation.
		The vicii differed from the planned cilivian towns or civitates that were laid out as official local economic and administrative centres, the coloniae which were settlements of retired troops or the formal political entity created from an existing settlement, called a municipium.
		Those that attracted significant numbers of Roman citizens were later permitted to form local councils and some such as the vicus at York grew into regional centres and even provincial capitals.

	American Academy in Rome - Fautores Abstract - Groh and Sedlmayer
		The structures in the southern part of the vicus (Vicus Süd), excavated in 1999, are published and a detailed discussion of the archaeological evidence, documented in 1996-97 within the fort and of older researches is forthcoming.
		A publication of the features in the eastern part of the vicus (Vicus Ost), mainly characterized by metal-working and large-scale pottery-workshops, will be prepared in 2003.
		The synthesis of the archaeological evidence, researched during the 1996-99 investigations, contribute in a comprehensive way to the understanding of the Roman military structures in the limes zone of Noricum.

		A vicus is the name of the civilian settlements that developed around forts and fortresses.
		Also, living in a vicus was safer than living elsewhere, especially during times of unrest in the province.
		If the vicus was established enough, it could live on even if the fort was abandoned, though generally they were too dependent on the military to be able to survive alone.

	OeAI - Mautern, Auxiliary fort and Vicus Favianis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Between 1997-1999, the excavations concentrated on the investigation of a 7000 m2 area of land in the eastern region, and a smaller excavation in the southern part of the Vicus.
		In the course of excavations in the South Vicus in 1998, a planimetric development consisting of wooden houses (earthen cellars, trenches with beams, post holes) was identified, a development which is similar in structure to finds at the East Vicus of Mautern.
		The extensive rescue excavations of the ÖAI carried out in the East Vicus of Mautern led in 1998 to the replacement of traditional archaeological methods of documentation by digital means.

		During the Roman period, the vicus, a civilian settlement immediately outside a fort, was a point of contact between the military and civilian population.
		Much like the vicus in the Roman period, Vicus Bioscience's objective is to create a role in providing life science technologies, both biochemical and information logistic systems having dual use for our military and civilian populations.
		First responders responsible in dealing with infectious disease, biodefense, and homeland security are challenged by the absence of time-sensitive detection and classification systems of biological pathogens and unknown organisms.

		With the Fort fulfilling an important role in communications the vicus appears to have sustained a population of up to 2,000 people.
		The vicus does not appear to have been much affected by the construction of the stone Fort.
		However, once the military presence was removed the vicus rapidly declined and was abandoned.

		Vindolanda is a fort with a 'vicus' or civilian settlement located 2 miles south of Hadrian's Wall.
		The civilian settlement at Chesterholm has been positively identified as a vicus - the lowest form of self-governing settlement recognised by Roman law - on an altar to the god Vulcan found 120 yards to the west of the fort.
		The vicus lies within the remains of the old rampart and incorporated a fine bathhouse and a mansio, a guesthouse with space for up to six residents travelling along the Stanegate on official business.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2005.06.30
		To mention just a few: Lott defines the term vicus and characterizes the neighborhoods of ancient Rome; he briefly situates his study vis-à-vis previous scholarship; and he orients the reader to contemporary sociological work on neighborhoods and voluntary associations.
		In 2 BCE, for example, the magistri of the Vicus Sandaliarius erected an altar whose imagery alludes to the dedication of the temple of Mars Ultor and the impending departure of Gaius Caesar on his first military command.
		Lott considers five compital altars dedicated in the Augustan neighborhoods and then focuses on the evidence for two vici: the Vicus Compiti Acili, whose aedicula was discovered during the construction of the Via dei Fori Imperiali, and a vicus, whose ancient name is unknown, wedged between the Tiber and the southwestern slope of the Aventine.

	Civilian Life
		Civilians lived in the vicus or town that could be found just outside the walls, to the south of Housesteads fort.
		The vicus did not grow up by accident, it was planned and deliberately built.
		Many of the buildings were of the same design, with a shop front opening on to the road and the living area in a room behind this.
