Note 2 at Acts 28:13: The name Rhegium means "broken off" and is descriptive of the coastline of this town. It was located on the southwestern coast of Italy at the southern entrance to the Strait of Messina. Today the town is called Reggio and has about 10,000 inhabitants.

Note 3 at Acts 28:13: Puteoli was an ancient city located on the bay of Naples. It had the closest accessible harbor to Rome, therefore Paul and his company landed there and proceeded to Rome by land. Paul found Christians there which were possibly converts of Aquila and Priscilla (see note 2 at Acts 18:2, p. 680). Puteoli still exists but is now called Pozzuoli.
