Puteoli in the Bible

Meaning: sulphureous wells

Thematic Bible



It was after three months' stay there that we set sail in a ship which had wintered in the island, an Alexandrian ship with the Twin Brothers [Castor and Pollux] as its figurehead. We landed at Syracuse and remained there three days, And from there we made a circuit [following the coast] and reached Rhegium; and one day later a south wind sprang up, and the next day we arrived at Puteoli.


And from there we made a circuit [following the coast] and reached Rhegium; and one day later a south wind sprang up, and the next day we arrived at Puteoli. There we found some [Christian] brethren and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. And so we came to Rome.
