Description : Atina is a town and comune in the province of Frosinone, Lazio region of central Italy. Atina was a town of the Samnites, later conquered by the Romans. The church of San Marco with the annexed Roman ruins Cicero speaks of it as a prosperous country town, which had not as yet fallen into the hands of large proprietors; and inscriptions show that in the Imperial age it was still flourishing. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, it was conquered by the Lombards, becoming part of the Duchy of Benevento in 702. Later it was ruled by the lords of Capua, the counts of the Marsi and those of Aquino, and, together with of most of the Comino Valley of the County (later Duchy) of Alvito. It remained part of the Kingdom of Naples until 1860. Once a part of the Terra di Lavoro province, it was included in the province of Frosinone in 1929.
