Vasto
Vasto ( Abruzzese: '; grc, Ἱστόνιον, Histonion}, la, Histonium) is a ''comune'' on the Adriatic coast of the Province of Chieti, in southern Abruzzo, Italy. During the Middle Ages it was called d''Guastaymonis'', '' Vasto d'Aimone'' or ''Waste d'Aimone''. Fascist Italy called the city ''Istonio'', but it has been renamed Vasto in 1944. History Classical According to tradition, the town was founded by Diomedes, the Greek hero. The earliest archaeological relics date to 1300 BC. Histonium was one of the key towns of the Frentani, located on the Adriatic coast, about south of the promontory called Punta Penna. The city was noted by all the geographers among the towns of the Frentani and apparently under Julius Caesar did not obtain the rank of a ''colonia'', but continued to bear the title of a ''municipium'', as we learn from some inscriptions. Under the Roman Empire, the municipium of Histonium was a flourishing and opulent municipal town, and this is further atte ...
