The province of Ascoli Piceno (Italian: provincia di Ascoli Piceno) is a province in the Marche region of Italy.

Its capital is the city of Ascoli Piceno, and the province is bordered by the Adriatic Sea to the east, the province of Fermo to the north, and it faces the regions of Umbria and Abruzzo to the south.

[4] The first settlers of the province were located on the banks of River Tronto by the Picentes tribe.

[3] From 91-88 BCE the Picentes revolted against the Romans and attempted to re-claim the land, but Gnaeus Pompeius Strabo besieged and sacked the city.

The town of Ascoli Piceno managed to revive, but after the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, it was conquered many times.
