From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Battle of Nola took place during the Social War (91–88 BC) in which the Romans defeated a rebel force under Cluentius.[1] After the battle was won, the Romans chased the rebels to Nola, which kept its gate shut.[1] During their flight, 23,000 rebels were killed before the gates of Nola.[1]
