FOOTNOTES:
[689] Faunus was supposed to be the third king who reigned over the
original inhabitants of the central parts of Italy, Saturn being the
first. Virgil makes his wife's name Marica--
Hunc Fauna, et nympha genitum Laurente Marica
Accipimus.--Aen. vii. 47.
Her name may have been changed after her deification; but we have no
other accounts than those preserved by Suetonius, of several of the
traditions handed down from the fabulous ages respecting the Vitellian
family.
[690] The Aequicolae were probably a tribe inhabiting the heights in the
neighbourhood of Rome. Virgil describes them, Aen. vii. 746.
[691] Nuceria, now Nocera, is a town near Mantua; but Livy, in treating
of the war with the Samnites, always speaks of Luceria, which Strabo
calls a town in Apulia.
[692] Cassius Severus is mentioned before, in AUGUSTUS, c. lvi.;
CALIGULA, c. xvi., etc.
