The Battle of Nola was a battle 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] 23,000 rebels were killed during their flight and before the gates of Nola.[1]
