About Acerra

Acerra is a town and commune of Campania, southern Italy, inside the Metropolitan City of Naples, approximately 15 kilometres northeast of the capital in Naples. It is a part of the Agro Acerrano plain. Acerra is one of the maximum ancient towns of the vicinity, probable based by means of the Osci with the call of Akeru. It first seems in records as an independent town at some point of the tremendous battle of the Campanians and Latins towards Rome; rapidly after the belief of which, in 332 BC, the Acerrani, in not unusual with numerous different Campanian towns, obtained the Roman "civitas," however without the right of suffrage.

The length at which this latter privilege changed into granted them isn't mentioned, but it's miles sure that they in the long run obtained the full rights of Roman residents. In the Second Punic War it became faithful to the Roman alliance, on which account it became besieged by using Hannibal in 216 BC, and being abandoned by way of the population in depression, turned into plundered and burnt. But after the expulsion of Hannibal from Campania, the Acerrani, with the consent of the Roman senate, returned to and rebuilt their town in 210 BC.
