Martinsicuro

Martinsicuro is a town and comune in province of Teramo, Abruzzo, central Italy. It is located on the right of the mouth of Tronto River.

Remains of a Bronze Age settlement were found in the communal territory, on a hill overlooking the Tronto river. At the river's mouth existed Truentum, remembered by Roman writer Pliny the Elder as part of the Roman region of Picenum, and attributed to the Liburni tribe. It was noted during the Roman civil wars as one of the centers occupied by Julius Caesar. It is cited by Strabo, Pomponius Mela and Silius Italicus, also reported in the Antonine Itinerary and in the Tabula Peutingeriana. The territories alongside of his river were divided under the reform of Augustus. After the Roman conquest in the 3rd century BC it became a municipium and later was reached by the Via Salaria.
