Acquasanta Terme (Latin: Ad Aquas)[4] is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Ascoli Piceno in the Italian region Marche, located about 90 kilometres (56 mi) south of Ancona and about 15 kilometres (9 mi) southwest of Ascoli Piceno. It is located in the Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park.

History

In June 1883, a coin hoard was discovered by chance in S. Maria del Paggese, within the municipality of Acquasanta Terme, today S. Maria di Acquasanta Terme. The hoard was in a terracotta pot and contained c. 275 denarii dated between the second half of the 1st century and the beginning of the 3rd century AD. A brief announcement of the discovery was made by the Inspector of Excavations and Monuments in Ascoli Piceno, Giulio Gabrielli, and published in the local newspaper Corriere Piceno.[5]
