Ad Nationes
City destroyed by fire from heaven, cited as predating Christian existence.
When fire poured from heaven upon Volsinii, and upon Pompeii from its own mountain?
De Pallio
Ancient city of Tuscany destroyed by fire.
From a cloud of this sort Tuscany too, having burnt up its ancient Volsinii — that Campania may the more hope from its own mountains — snatched away Pompeii.
