The port of Italy to which ships from Egypt and the Levant commonly sailed (Josephus, Ant. 18:7, section 4; so Acts 28:13). The bay of Naples was then named from it, sinus Ρuteolanus . A cross road led thence to Capua, there joining the Appian Way to Rome. Sixteen piers of the harbour mole, formed of the concrete pozzolana , remain. Puteoli was at the E. of the bay, Baiae at the W. Puteoli comes from puteus a "well," or puteo , "to smell strong," from the offensively smelling mineral springs.
