PONZA (anc. Pontine)

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 72 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: POL-PRE
PONZA (anc. Pontine) , the
principal
  of a small
group
  of islands belonging to
Italy
 . Pop. (Igor), 4621. The
group
  is of volcanic origin, and includes Palmarola (anc. Palmaria),:Zannone (Sinonia), Ventotene (Pandateria, pop. in 1901, 1986) and San Stefano. It is situated about 20 M. S. of Monte Circeo and 70 M. W. of Naples, and belongs partly to the province of Caserta and partly to that of Naples (Ventotene). There is
regular
  communication with Naples by steamer, and in summer with Anzio. The islands rise to a height of about 70 ft. above sea-level. They are now penal settlements, and their isolated
character
  led to their being similarly used in
ancient
  times. A
colony
  with Latin rights was founded on Pontiae in 313 B.C. ' Nero, Germanicus's eldest son, and the sisters of Caligula, were confined upon it; while Pandateria was the
place
  of banishment of Julia, daughter of
Augustus
 , of her daughter Agrippina the
elder
 , and of Octavia, the divorced wife of Nero.
