A name taken from the sea
In Roman times, the name of the city was Aternum. The name Pescara is taken from the Piscarius river where the mouth was reputed to be rich in fish. In Abruzzo dialect the name is Pescàre. The first inhabitants of Pescara settled on the banks of the river, near the mouth, forming a city called Vicus Aterni, which then took the name of Aternum and later Ostia Aterni. Around the year 1000, the locality took the name of Piscaria, referring to this very fishy area.
