Abstract
This chapter traces the history of ancient Naples from the Samnite Wars to the sack of Sulla. Particular nodes of interest are the Second Samnite War, when Naples established a treaty with Rome; the Second Punic War, throughout which Naples, unusually for a city in this region, remained allied to the Romans; and the poorly documented campaign of Sulla in 82 BCE, when the city evidently was sacked for the first and only time in classical antiquity.
