Fectio, known as Vechten in Old Dutch, was a Roman castellum in the province Germania Inferior established in the year 4 or 5 AD. It was located at the place where the river Vecht (Fectio) branched off from the Rhine, leading to Lake Flevo, which was later to become the Zuiderzee.^[1] This was near the modern hamlet of Vechten in the municipality Bunnik, Utrecht, Netherlands.
