Verse 13
The site of Rhegium (modern Reggio di Calabria) was near the tip of the "toe" of Italy’s "boot" opposite Sicily, about 75 miles from Syracuse. It, too, was an important harbor. Puteoli (Modern Pozzuoli) stood about 200 miles farther north on the "shin" of the "boot." Its site occupied the most protected part of the bay of Naples. It was a very large port and the final destination of many Egyptian wheat ships at that time. There dock-hands unloaded the cargo.
