Vultur
A mountain dividing Apulia and Lucania near Venusia, is a branch of the Apennines. It is celebrated by Horace as one of the haunts of his youth ( Od. iii. 4, 9-16; Lucan, ix. 185). It attains an elevation of 4433 feet above the sea. From it the southeast wind was called Vulturnus by the Romans.
