AUSONA (anc. geog.), a town of the Ausones, a people who anciently occupied all the Lower Italy, from the Promontorium Circæum down to the straits

of Sicily (Livy), but were afterwards reduced to a much narrower compass; namely, between the Montes Circæi and Massici: nor did they occupy the whole of this, but other people were intermixed. Concerning Ausona or its remains there is nothing particular recorded.
