LUGII, Lugii, Lugii, or Logionae, in Ancient Geography, a people of Germany, to the west of the Vistula, where it forms a bend like a crescent; Lugii, (Dio); Lugii, (Strabo); Logiones, (Zotimus). Their name Lugii is conjectured to be derived from their mutually close confederacy or league. The Vistula was their boundary to the north, east, and south, with Mount Alciburgius to the west. Now the whole of that country lies in Poland, on this side the Vistula.
