ATELLA

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 824 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ARN-AUD
ATELLA , an ancient Oscan town of Campania, 9 M. N. of Naples and g m. S. of
Capua
 , on the road between the two. It was a member of the Campanian confederation, and shared the fortunes of
Capua
 , but remained faithful to Hannibal for a longer time; the
great
 
part
  of the inhabitants, when they could no longer resist the Romans, were transferred by him to Thurii, and the town was reoccupied in 211 by the Romans, who settled the exiled inhabitants of Nuceria there. The fate of Atella at the end of the war, when the latter were able to return to their own city, is unknown. Cicero was in friendly relations with it, and exerted
influence
  that it might retain its property in Gaul, so that it is obvious that it had then recovered municipal rights. The town is mainly famous as the cradle of early Roman comedy, the Fabulae Atellanae (se, below). Some remains of the town still exist, including a tower of the city
wall
  in brick.
See J. Beloch, Campanien (2nd ed.,
Breslau
 , 189o), p. 379.
