The original terminus of the Appian way was at Brundusium. This
mole formed what we should call a nearer station to Rome, on the same

Now Fondi, which, with Terracina, still bearing its original name, lie on the road to Naples. See TIBERIUS, cc. v. and xxxix.
Being adopted by his step-mother,Livia Ocellina, mentioned just before.
he assumed the name of Livius, with the cognomen of Ocella, and changed his praenomen; for he afterwards used that of Lucius, instead of Sergius, until he arrived at the imperial dignity.
