ΒΕΝΟΥΖΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΜΠΑΣΙΛΙΚΑΤΑ
A mountain dividing Apulia and Lucania near Venusia, is a branch
of the Apennines. It is celebrated by Horace as one of the haunts of his youth.
It attains an elevation of 4433 feet above the sea. From it the southeast wind
was called Vulturnus by the Romans.
ΗΡΑΚΛΕΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΙΤΑΛΙΑ
Aciris (Akiris), a river of Lucania, mentioned both by Pliny and Strabo,
as flowing near to Heraclea on the N. side, as the Siris did on the S. It is still
called the Acri or Agri, and has a course of above 50 miles, rising in the Apennines
near Marsico Nuovo, and flowing into the Gulf of Tarentum, a little to the N.
of Policoro, the site of the ancient Heraclea. (Plin. iii. 11. s. 15 ; Strab.
p. 264.) The Acidios of the Itinerary is supposed by Cluverius to be a corruption
of this name, but it would appear to be that of a town, rather than a river. (Itin.
Ant. p. 104.)
