Additional information

Atella was one of several Campanian cities that struck bronze coinage during the Second Punic War, a period when Hannibal's presence in southern Italy severed normal Roman monetary supply chains and local communities issued their own emergency bronze. The city would later be sacked by Rome following the war, partly for its defection to the Carthaginian side — making civic issues from this period some of the last independent coinage Atella ever produced.
