PANDATARIA, (Suetonius, Pliny, Strabo); Pandateria, (Mela, Tacitus): An island in the Tuscan sea; a place of banishment for the more illustrious exiles. Hither Julia, the daughter of Augustus, was banished for her incontinence. To this island Tibertius banished Agrippina, his daughter-in-law, (Suetonius). It was the place of confinement of Octavia, the daughter of Claudius, married to Nero; a sight that affected every eye, (Tacitus). Now Santa Maria, situate between Pontia and Ichnia, (Hoffenius).
