Atal of Niculițel is one of four martyrs commemorated together at Niculițel. The official calendar connects their martyrdom with ancient Noviodunum and records the discovery of their burial crypt in 1971. An inscription preserves the four names: Zotticos, Atalos, Camasis, and Filippos. The source does not provide a separate life story or individual actions for Atal of Niculițel.
