Atella was an ancient Oscan city of Campania halfway between Naples and Capua; its ruins lie between the towns of Orta di Atella and Sant’Arpino. Atella is not mentioned until the Second Punic War when although an independent city striking its own coinage it was allied with Capua and the other Campanian cities in siding with Carthage after the battle of Cannae.
