APULIA, now PUGLIA, a territory of Italy, bordering on the Adriatic, and extending from the river Freno to Tarentum in length, and from the Adriatic to the Lucani in breadth. Apuli the people, (Horace); divided into the Apulia Daunia, now called Puglia Pinna, or the Capitana; and into the Apulia Paucetia, now Terra di Bari, (Pliny, Ptolemy). Apulia abounded in sheep, which yielded the finest wool. (Martial). It is now the east side of the kingdom of Naples.
