The history of Reggio di Calabria begins several thousand years ago. Historians suggest that the great-grandson of Noah named Ashenez was involved in its foundation. Subsequently, he gave his name to the entire region, which was called Ashenasia. This ancient heritage is still present in the historical memory of the city, thanks to the name of Aschenez street.
According to legend, in the settlement of Ashenez in 730 BC. settled people of Ionian origin, who came from Chalkis to about. Euboea. From this island came the founders of many other Greek colonies. Then the city was given the name Region, from the word "reghnümi", which means to break. This is a symbolic reminder of the separation of Sicily from Calabria. Other sources claim that the word has an Indo-European root "reg" - "leader, king." This is a reference to the headland that dominated the panorama from the peninsula.
There is also a theory that the city was founded by Chalkid settlers. They gave it the name Reggio according to the instructions of the Delphic oracle and it was located at the mouth of the Apsia River (the current Calopinace River). Here they met a vine clinging to a wild fig tree. The prophecy said that they would find "a female clinging to a male."
