History

Ascoli (known as Asculum) was a city of the Dauni. It was the site of two early Roman battles (see Battle of Asculum). Later Sulla established a military colony there.

In the mid-9th century the Saracens razed the city. In 1040 it rebelled against the Byzantines and, the following year, a decisive battle was fought nearby which granted the Normans control over southern Italy.
