Note 239 — XLII (A II, 16)
Evelyn S. (Evelyn Shirley) Shuckburgh translation
According to Suetonius 20,000 citizens had allotments on the ager publicus in Campania. But Dio says (xxxviii. 1) that the Campanian land was exempted by the lex Iulia also. Its settlement was probably later, by colonies of Cæsar's veterans. A iugerum is five-eighths of an acre.
