Notes:  

Pesaro  was a ancient town of north eastern Italy on the Adriatic Sea.

The city was established as Pisaurum by the Romans in 184 BC as a colony in the territory of the Picentes , a tribe of people who lived along the northeast coast during the Iron Age.  In modern times 13 ancient votive stones were unearthed in a local farm field, each bearing the inscription of a Roman god written in a pre-Etruscan script, indicating a much earlier occupation of the area than the 184 BC Picentes colony.

A settlement of the Picentes tribe has been found at Novilara. The northern Picentes were invaded in the 4th century BC by the Gallic Senones , earlier by the Etruscans, and when the Romans reached the area the population was an ethnic mixture. The Roman separated and expelled the Gauls from the country.

After the fall of the Western Empire, Pesaro was occupied by the Ostrogoths, and destroyed by Vitigis (539) in the course of the Gothic War. Hastily rebuilt five years later after the Byzantine reconquest, it formed the so-called Pentapolis, part of the Exarchate of Ravenna. After the Lombard and Frankish conquests of Ravenna Pesaro became part of the Papal States.

During the Renaissance it was ruled successively by the houses of Montefeltro (1285–1445), Sforza (1445–1512) and Della Rovere (1513–1631).
