Il pelide Achille su un destriero rampante in campo azzurro armato di corazza, elmo e schinieri, con scudo ellittico nella sinistra e spada nuda nella destra. Una croce bianca divide in quattro parti la faccia esterna dello scudo. In ognuna di esse giace una chiave d’oro. Lo stemma e’ sormontato da una corona regia dalla quale pende ai due lati un nastro recante la scritta “TEATE REGIA METROPOLIS UTRIUSQUE APRUTINAE PROVINCIAE PRINCEPS”. |

Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on June 7, 1943.
The man on the horse is (by the legend) the Mycenic hero Achilles who died in the Troyan War, according to Homer. He alledgedly founded the city of Theti, named after his mother Thetis. In Roman times this became Theate and later Chieti. The motto also shows the Latin name of the city.
