- vicus: (Latin) village; street; quarter (of a city)
- vicis: (Latin) fortune; change of fortune or conditions; vicissitude; duty, function, place
- Giambattista Vico → Viconian Cycle → Vico's ricorso storico, or "historical return", which links one Viconian cycle with the next
- Vico Road: a road in Dalkey, County Dublin
- A Finnegans Wake Gazetteer
- Ulysses 024.25: "Vico Road, Dalkey"
- vicus of recirculation → vicious cycle
- vicus of recirculation → hydrological cycle: the water of Dublin Bay is evaporated, becomes a cloud over Howth, which is blown inland; rain falls in the Dublin Mountains; the water is collected by the Liffey, which flows through the city, cleansing it (Giambattista means "John the Baptist") and carrying off its filth; the river discharges its contents into the Bay, and the cycle continues.
