...the neighboring port of Puteoli.

It is said that the bridge is to rival that of Persian King Xerxes' crossing of the Hellespont.

Caligula, a man who cannot swim, then proceeds to ride his favorite horse, Incitatus, across, wearing the breastplate of Alexander the Great.

This act is in defiance of a prediction by Tiberius's soothsayer Thrasyllus of Mendes that Caligula had "no more chance of becoming emperor than of riding a horse across the Bay of Baiae".
