^{page 96 note 1} The reading of almost every editor for the Baulos of the MSS.; Tacitus states clearly that Nero was at Baiae. So, too, Suetonius, Ner. 34, ‘iucundissimis litteris Baias euocauit ad sollemnia Quinquatruum simul celebranda.’ Dio's obviously careless narrative fails to tell us where Agrippina lodged—we have only his indefinite ofraSe (LXI. 13. 2)—but states (LXI. 13. 1) that when they reached Bauli, he gave for several days most costly dinners; i.e., at that place, it would seem, unless we assume a lacuna in the Greek text in which some mention of Baiae once stood. As a matter of fact, Dio says nothing of Baiae anywhere in his account. The Pseudo-Senecan Octavia, 314–315: ‘properant placidos linquere portusiussi nautae,’ point, perhaps, to the PortusBaiarum as the place of departure, and to Baiae, therefore, as the scene of the banquet. In spite of all these passages, Nissen (Italische Landeskunde, II. p. 736) will have it that Nero's palace was nowhere near Baiae at all, but to the east of Punta Caruso, near Puteoli. His archaeological evidence from ‘die Glasgefasse ’ (p. 736 note 2) is not acceptable, because the one on which he depends, with little doubt represents the Baian coast.See Beloch, Campanien, pp. 184, 185.

^{page 96 note 2} The words of Suetonius {Ner. 34) are: ‘repe-tentique Baulos.’ Since the mater Caerellia in Martial, IV. 63 was no doubt a real person, we cannot even for the sake of an exact parallelism make her perish from a boat that was going in precisely the same direction as the solutilis nauishad taken; it suffices that the aquae (vs. 4) were the same: Dum petit a Baulis mater Caerellia Baias, occidit insani crimine mersa freti.gloria quanta perit uobis!haec monstra Neroni nee iussae quondam praestiteratis, aquae.

^{page 97 note 2} If Günther's identification of the Stagnum Baiarum Earth-Movements in the Bay of Naples, p. 37) be correct as a lagoon bordering the Harbour of Baiae, it might be called Baianus Lacus.

^{page 98 note 1} Beloch, p. 185. Günther's theory that the Via Miseni may have been one that has since been submerged (op. cit. p. 38) seems improbable because of Tacitus’ words quae...prospectat.

^{page 99 note 2} See Furneaux on Tac. Ann. XIV. 5. 7 (II2. p. 239). Henderson, The Life and Principate of Nero, p. 120, evidently takes it to be a different villa from that at Bauli.

How cold the water may have been at the beginning of the Baian season in the Bay of Baiae it might be hard to say. Pliny, N.H. XXXI. 5, speaks of hot springs beneath its waters.

^{page 100 note 5} On account of Pliny's notorious carelessness as a geographer, some would hesitate to use as evidence any statement of his as to the order of places. Thus Nissen, II. p. 733 note 3, in speaking of the theory that locates Bauli north of Baiae, says, ‘Der einzige Grund der sich dafür anführen lässt, ist die Reihenfolge Pliny III. 61: jedoch scheint es bedenklich ihr ein entschei-dendes Gewicht beizulegen.’
