Specialist Notes

First edition of this text on ancient Atella: the city of Atella occupied a prominent position in the cultural formation of ancient Italy. Famous for being the originator of the Atellane, archaic theatrical forms that left a lasting mark on Latin comedy, it was also a vital hub of relations between Capua and Neapolis. Its artistic and civic legacy makes it an essential reference point for the history of Roman theater and culture.
