[1943] Quintus Pompædius Silo.

[1944] Now Sulmona, about seven miles south-east of Corfinium. It was the birth-place of Ovid.

Sulmo mihi patria est gelidis uberrimus undis.

Ovid. Trist. iv. El. 9.

[1945]

Marruvium, veteris celebratum nomine Marri,

Urbibus est illis caput.

Sil. Ital. viii. 507.

We must place this city, with Holstenius, at San Benedetto, on the eastern shore of the lake, where inscriptions have been found which leave no doubt on the subject. The coins of Marruvium have MARUB on the reverse and a head of Pluto.

[1946] Now Chieti, on the right bank of the Pescara. The family of Asinius Pollio came originally from this place.
