or ATTEGUA, an ancient town of Spain, placed by some in the road from Antiquara, now Antequera, to Hispalis, or Seville; by others near Alcala Real; which last is the more probable situation, because the Flumen Salmum, now the Salado, was in its neighbourhood. Now Tebala Vieja, or Teveela.

ATTELLA, an ancient town of Campania in Italy, between Capua and Neapolis. From this town the Attellana fabulae, or Attellani ludii, took their name. These were also called Odes, from their inventor, in whose territory Attella lay. They were generally a species of farce, interlarded with much ribaldry and buffoonery; and sometimes were exordia or interludes presented between the acts of other plays. The actors in these farces were not reckoned among the common players, nor deemed infamous; but retained the rights of their tribe, and might be lifted for soldiers, the privilege only of free men. The ruins of this town are still to be seen about 11 miles from the modern Aversa, which was built out of its materials.
