Vestini

The coins of this people, who occupied a mountainous district between the Apennines and the Adriatic, may be assigned to the towns of Pinna (Cività di Penne) in the interior, and Aternum (Pescara), which lay upon the coast some twenty miles south of Hatria.

In B.C. 301 the Vestini concluded a treaty of alliance with Rome, and between that date and B.C. 268 the coinage falls. It is imitated from the money of Umbria and Picenum.
