V. After this comes Italy, the first people of it itaiy: its 

 being the Ligm-ians, after whom come Etruria, ^'^^^' 

 Urabria and Latium, where are the mouths of the 

 Tiber and Rome, the capital of the world, sixteen 

 miles from the sea. Aftervvards come the coast of 

 the Volsci and of Campania, then of Picenum 

 and Lucania and the liruttii, the southernmost point 

 to which Italy juts out into tlie sea from the almost

 considered ungrateful and lazy \1 I describe in this

 by the providence of the gods to make heaven itself
