History and curiosity

Ischia is an island rich in ancient and fascinating history, steeped in culture first historical findings date back to 770 B.C. with the domination of the Greeks who called the island Pithecusae. The name that leaves room for more theories on its etymology: according to some it derives from the term monkey, which is due to the presence of this animal on the island, and according to others it comes from "vase", which would allude to the commercial soul of the island. The most important evidence of this period is a cup imported from Rhodes, found in a tomb of the necropolis, on which were engraved verses that allude to the famous cup of Nestor described in the Iliad. From the IV Century, A.C. the island of Ischia passed with Naples under the Roman dominion and also the Island of Ischia changed its name to Aenaria from the Latin word aenum, which means bronze, confirming the flourishing activity of metalworking. In this period there are many kinds of objects but some evidence of the houses of the period is due to the strong volcanic phenomena that occurred in that period in Ischia.
