NUCERIA ALFATERNA (mod. Nocera Inferiore, q.v.)

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 845 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NUCERIA ALFATERNA (mod. Nocera Inferiore, q.v.) , an ancient town of Campania, Italy, in the valley of the Sarnus (Sarno), about to m. E. of the
modern
 
coast
  line at Torre Annunziata, and 8 m. E. of Pompeii. In the period before the Roman supremacy it appears to have been the
chief
  town in the valley of the Sarnus, Herculaneum, Pompeii,
Stabiae
  and
Surrentum
  all being dependent upon it. The coins of the town
bear
  the head of the river god. It maintained its allegiance to Rome till 309 B.C. when it joined the revolted Samnites. In 308 it repulsed a Roman attempt to land at the mouth of the Sarnus, but in 307 it was besieged and surrendered. It obtained favour-able terms, and remained faithful to Rome even after
Cannae
 . Hannibal reduced it in 216 by starvation, and destroyed and plundered the town. The inhabitants returned when peace was restored. Even during the Social War Nuceria remained true to Rome, though the dependent towns joined the revolt; after it they were formed into independent communities, and Nuceria received the territory of
Stabiae
 , which had been destroyed by Sulla in 89 B.C., as a compensation. In 73 B.C. it was plundered by Spartacus. Of the buildings of the ancient city nothing at all is to be seen; but on the hillsides on the S. are remains of villas of the Roman period, and here tombs have been found. (T. As.)
