Campania

Not a person but a place: Campania is the fertile coastal region of southwest Italy around the Bay of Naples, encompassing cities such as Capua, Puteoli, Naples, and the imperial villa districts of the Sorrentine and Baian coast. In late antiquity it remained a favored retreat of the Roman senatorial aristocracy, dotted with the estates to which men like Q. Aurelius Symmachus (c. 340-402 AD) withdrew from public life. This record appears as a 'recipient' in the Symmachus correspondence only because the region is named as a destination or subject within his letters; it was mistakenly ingested as a correspondent. The attached coordinates (41.90, 12.48) are in fact those of Rome, not Campania.
