in Ancient Geography, a town of the Ausones, a people who anciently occupied all the Lower Italy, from the Promontorium Circeum down to the straits of Sicily (Livy), but were afterwards reduced to a much narrower compass; namely, between the Montes Circei 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.

AUSONIA, the ancient name of Italy, from its most ancient inhabitants the Ausones, (Virgil, Servius.)
