On Fate
Coastal Italian town near which Cicero's estate lay, the setting for the conversation with Hirtius that frames the dialogue.
For when I was at my estate near Puteoli, and our friend Hirtius, the consul-elect, was in the same region—a man most devoted to me and to those studies in which we have lived from our boyhood—we were much together, chiefly inquiring into those measures which might bear upon peace and upon the concord of the citizens.
Letters to Lucilius
A port town in Campania where crowds gather to watch for the arrival of the Alexandrian fleet.
the whole crowd stands out on the piers of Puteoli and picks out the Alexandrian vessels from the very style of their sails, even among a great throng of ships.
