AUSONA, in Ancient Geography, a town of the Aufones, 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 Aufona or its remains there is nothing particular recorded.
