In ancient times, when the city of Rome was at the height of its power and splendor, it was the custom, as it is in fact now with the inhabitants of wealthy capitals, for the principal families to possess, in addition to their city residences, rural villas for summer retreats, which they built in picturesque situations, at a little distance from the city, sometimes in the interior of the country, and sometimes upon the sea-shore.

고대 로마 시가 권력과 영광의 절정에 달했을 때, 오늘날 부유한 수도의 주민들이 그러하듯이, 주요 가문들은 도시에 있는 저택 외에도 여름 휴양을 위한 시골 별장을 소유하는 것이 관례였습니다. 그들은 이 별장을 도시에서 조금 떨어진 경치 좋은 곳에, 때로는 시골 내륙에, 때로는 해안가에 지었습니다.

There were many attractive places of resort of this nature in the neighborhood of Rome.

로마 근교에는 이와 같은 매력적인 휴양지가 많았습니다.

Among them was Antium.

그들 가운데 안티움이 있었다.

Antium was situated on the sea-coast about thirty miles south of the Tiber.

안티움은 티베르 강 남쪽으로 약 30마일 떨어진 해안가에 위치해 있었습니다.

A bold promontory here projects into the sea, affording from its declivities the most extended and magnificent views on every side.

이곳의 험준한 곶은 바다로 돌출되어 있어 그 경사면에서 사방으로 가장 넓고 웅장한 경관을 제공합니다.

On the north, looking from the promontory of Antium, the eye follows the line of the coast away to the mouth of the Tiber; while, on the south, the view is terminated, at about the same distance, by the promontory of Circe, which is the second cape, or promontory, that marks the shore of Italy in going southward from Rome.

북쪽으로는 안티움 곶에서 바라보면 해안선을 따라 티베르 강 어귀까지 이어지고, 남쪽으로는 거의 같은 거리에 있는 키르케 곶에서 시야가 끝나는데, 이 곶은 로마에서 남쪽으로 갈 때 이탈리아 해안을 표시하는 두 번째 곶이다.

Toward the interior, from Antium, there extends a broad and beautiful plain, bounded by wooded hills toward the shore, and by ranges of mountains in the distance beyond.

안티움에서 내륙 쪽으로는 넓고 아름다운 평야가 펼쳐져 있는데, 해안 쪽으로는 숲이 우거진 언덕으로, 그 너머 멀리에는 산맥으로 둘러싸여 있다.

On the southern side of the cape, and sheltered by it, was a small harbor where vessels from all the neighboring seas had been accustomed to bring in their cargoes, or to seek shelter in storms, from time immemorial.

곶의 남쪽에는 곶에 의해 보호되는 작은 항구가 있었는데, 예로부터 주변 바다의 모든 배들이 그곳에 화물을 싣고 오거나 폭풍우를 피해 피난처를 찾곤 했습니다.
