  Bryn Mawr Classical Review 1999.11.10
The proem is significantly delayed to follow, first, the epigraph for Caieta, a figure otherwise unmentioned in the poem; the description of Circe, whom Aeneas and his men bypass; and Aeneas' arrival at the Tiber.
Since Vergil makes no allusion to the Sirens' song, but only to the bones of the dead who succumbed to their attraction, he is alluding to time after the death of the Sirens and suggesting thereby that the poet and his hero have outgrown the traditional, Homeric sources symbolized by the Sirens.
As Caieta is left behind by Aeneas, so the poet may be seen to leave behind practices of Hellenistic poetry.

 Roman Emperors - DIR Anastasius
He may even have put some finishing touches on the Pantheon because Julius Capitolinus mentions restoration of a templum Agrippae, but the text may be corrupt and the temple of the Divine Augustus, the restoration of which is recorded on some of Antoninus' coins, may be the intended reference here.
[[23]] Outside Rome, Antoninus repaired several roads and renovated ports in Alexandria, Caieta, and Terracina, a bath at Ostia, an aqueduct at Antium, and the temples in his birthplace, Lanuvium.
Although some sources suggest that Antoninus went in person to Egypt and Syria to put down a revolt of peoples along the Red Sea, Julius Capitolinus says that Antoninus made his home in Rome where he could receive messages from all parts of the empire equally quickly.

First he fled to his Tusculan estate, thence he set out by cross-country routes for his place at Formiae, for he planned to take ship at Caieta.
From that port he put out to sea several times, but sometimes contrary winds drove him back, and again he was unable to bear the tossing of the ship, as erratic waves heaved it.
