 APULIA, ticcd hj Stnbo without mentioning its name) is i-aUffd by Pfiny Lacus Pantanus : it is now known as th« Loffo di LesuM^ from a small town of that Duiie. (Plin. ill. 11. 8.16.) The more extensive «ake to the S. of Garpmus, between Sipontam and the month of the Anfidus, was named, from the ijHj rf ihoofing city of Salapia, the Sal<pina Palus (Locaa. t. 377), and is still called the Laao di SolpL Opiioflite to the headland of Gai^ganos, about 15 j^tog. miles from the mouth of the Frento, lie the two small isilands named Issulae Diomkdkae, unr the ImUe di TremitL The towns in Apulia, mentkned by ancient writers, ait the following*, b^inning froxn the northern fnmtier: 1. Between the Tifemns and the Frento itood Labis I'M and Cuternia, besides the two Kcali fortresses or "castella" of GKRumuH and Calxla. 2. Between the Frento and the Aufidns wne the important towns of Teanum, sumamed Apohun, to distinguish it from the city of the same name in Campania, Lucebia, Aecae, and Ascu- ixn, on the hiUs, which form the last off-shoots of the Apcmdnes towards the plains; while in the plain itself were Arpx, Salapia, and Herdonia; and 8iPosmf on the sea^shore, at the foot of Mt. Gar- pona. The less considerable towns in this part of Apofia wexe, XtBEXVU {Bovino) among the last ranges of the Apennines, AccuA, near Lnceria, CoLLATiA ( CcUaiina') at the western foot of Mt. Garganna, Cbxauxiua (^Cerignold), near the An* fidns: and Ergjiiuii, on the road from Teannm to SqnotQm (Tab. Peat), snppoeed by Holstenins to be the modem & Severe. Around the promontory of Gaiganos were the small towns of Merinum, PertDs Agiwm, and Portns Gamae [Garoakus], as weU as the Htbium, or Ubiux, of Strabo and Ptolemy. Along the coast, between Sipontum and the mouth of tl^ Aufidns, the Tabula places Anx- Axrx, now Torre di JUvoli, and Salinae, probably a nrre establishment of salt-works, but more distant finom the mooth of the Aufidus than the modem Sifiir 3. East of the Aufidus was the important citT of Canusiux, as well as the small, but not less reh-brated town, of CAinrAE; on the road fi^om Canaaiam to Egnatia we find in succession, Rubi, BrruBTTM, Caeua, Azetium, and Nobba. The Kkiicm of Straho must be placed somewhere on the same line. Along the coast, besides the im- portant towns of Babiux and Egnatia, the fbl- hnring small places are enumerated in the Itineraries : Bardnlom, 6 M. P. £. of the mouth of the Aufidus, ^m BarleUa, Turenum (TVom), Natiolum (Bi^ «9&), and Respa, according to BomandU Molfetta, ■mr probably GiovenazzOy about 13 H. P. from Baru £. of that city we find Amestum (probably a earmption of Apanestae), and Dertum, which itaat be placed near MonopoH. Neapolis, a name nut fijond in any ancient author, but clearly es- talJWiMMi by its coins and other remains, may be pboed with certainty at PoUgnaaOy 6 M. P. west «f MctkopolL 4. In the interior of Apulia, towards the fr u uti e r s of Lncania, the chief place was Ve- BcnA, with the ncighboorimg smaller towns of AcBEBOsrriA, Bastia, and Febbhtux. On the to p e jKii T c the distinction between the Daunians and Pencetians; it is clear from Strabo, that no rich distinction leaUy snhaisted in the time when the geogxaphen wrote. AQUAE. 167 la Appia, leading from Venusia to Tarentum, were SiLViUM, Plera (supposed to be the modem Gror- vina)^ and Lupatia {Altamura). S. of this line of road, towards the river Bradanus, Mateola (Mateo- lani, Plin. iii. 11. s. 16) was evidently the modem Maieraj and Genusinm (Genuaini, Id. I. c. ; Lib. Colon, p. 262) still retains tlie name of Gwosa. (For the discussion ci these obscure names, see Holsten. Not. in Cluv. pp. 281^ 290; PratilU, Via Appia, iv. 7; Romanelli, vol. ii. pp. 180 — 188.) Several other towns mentioned by Pliny (A c.) which probably belong to this r^(»i, are otherwise wholly unknown; but the names given in bis list are so confused, that it is impossible to say with certainty, which belong to Apulia, and which to Calabria, w the Hirpini. Among those to which at least a conjectural locality may be assigned, are: the Grumbestini, supposed to be the inhabitants of Gmmum, now GrumOj a village about 9 miles S. of Bitonto; the Palionenses, or people of Palio, pro- bably PalOj a village half way between Grumo and Bitonto; the Tutini, for which we should, perhaps, read Turini, from Turum or Turium, indicated by the modem Turij about 16 miles & £. of Bari; the Strapellini, whose town, Strapellum, is supposed to be Bapolla, between Venusia and the Pons Au- fidi. The Borcani, Corinenses, Dirini, Turmentini, and Ulurtini, of the same author, are altogether unknown. Apulia was traversed by the two great branches of the Appian Way, which separated at Beneventum, and led, the one direct to Bmndusium, the otlier to Tarentum. The first of these, called the Via Tra- jana, from its reconstraction by that emperor, passed through Aecae, Herdonia, Canusium, and Butuntum, to the sea at Barium, and from thence along the coast to Bmndusium* ; while a nearly parallel line, parting from it at Butuntimi, led by Caelia, Aze- tium, and Norba, direct to Egnatia. The other main line, to which the name of Via Appia seems to have properly belonged, entered Apulia at the Pons Aufidi {Ponte Sta. Venere and led through Venusia, SUvium, and Plera, direct to Tarentum. (For the fuller examination of both these lines, see Via Appia.) Besides these, the Tabula records a line of road from Larinum to Sipontum, and from thence clotie along the sea-shore to Barium, where it joined the Via Trajana. This must have formed an important line of communication from Picenum and the northem parts of Italy to Bmndusium. [£. H. B.] APULUM fAirowAov, Ptol. iii. 8. § 8; Orell. Tnacr.
