Sanctio

Sanctio a place in the Agri Decumates, in the south-west of Germany, was situated on the banks of the Rhine, but is mentioned only by Ammianus Marcellinus (21.3), and in such a manner that it is not easy to identify its site; it is possible, however, that the modern Seckingen may correspond with it.
