Aesernia, Samnium, Italy, c. 263 - 240 B.C.
|Italy|, |Aesernia,| |Samnium,| |Italy,| |c.| |263| |-| |240| |B.C.|, Aesernia, a Samnite city, received a Roman colony in 264 B.C. It remained faithful to Rome through the Second Punic War. During the Social War it resisted the confederates until it was forced, by famine after a protracted siege, to surrender. Aesernia became for a time the headquarters of the Italic League. After Sulla defeated the Samnites, Aesernia was so severely punished for its defection that it was utterly deserted. Recovery was slow but by the time of Trajan and the Antonines Aesernia was again an important town.
