ARAE SESTIA´NAE
ARAE SESTIA´NAE (
Σηστίου Βωμοί ά̀κρον), three altars erected in honour of Augustus on a promontory near the NW. extremity of Spain. Pliny (
4.20. s. 34) and Ptolemy (
2.6.3) place the headland a little N. of Nerium Pr. (C. Finisterre), which would correspond to
C. Villano; Mela (3.1.9) carries it further eastward; the former is the more probable position.
