The Atilii Calatini were cousins ​​of the other famous Atilii, the Atilii Reguli. Calatinus is clearly a cognomen (an epithet) that refers to Calatia, 10 kilometers southwest of Capua. This region was founded under the consulate of the first Atilius, Marcus Atilius Regulus Calenus, in 335 BC. Conquered. But since it was actually his colleague, the patrician Marcus Valerius Corvus , who conquered Cales, it is likely that Atilius came from there.

Pottery from the region indicates that the names K. and N. Atilius come from the area around Capua. In addition, the first names Kaeso and Numercius , names of the Atilians, occur among the patrician families only among the Fabians. The Atilii were the ruling family of Campania at the time they gained Roman citizenship , and the surname Regulus could indicate a royal position there.
