Petelia, Bruttium, Italy, c. 216 - 204 B.C., Time of Hannibal
|Italy|, |Petelia,| |Bruttium,| |Italy,| |c.| |216| |-| |204| |B.C.,| |Time| |of| |Hannibal|, "In 216, when most of South Italy joined Hannibal after Cannae, Petelia remained faithful to Rome and sought the dispatch of a Roman garrison. The Senate, however, felt it self unable to lend aid to so distant and ally; the town was besieged and after eleven months fell to the Carthaginians, who handed it over to the Bretti. After the defeat of Hannibal a substantial contingent of refugees who had escaped to Rome were restored to Petelia in recognition of their loyalty to Rome." -- N.K. Rutter, Historia Numorum Italy
