BESSUM

BESSUM
BESSUM
oppidum Arverniae, vicinum monti, qui Aureus drcitur, qui quartâ hinc milliaris parte distat: in huius fere fastigio lacus est, qui se late extendit, ad cuius fundum pertingi non potest, cum nulla in eum aqua influat, saltem quae videri possit. Hoc visu quidem est mitabile, horrendum vero, quod si quis aliquid in eum proiciat, certus ille sit, se mox auditurum tonitrua, subsecuturaque fulgetra, pluviam, grandinemque. Metel.
