The pike and ring refer to the legends surrounding the founding of the town around 270 BC by a King Peredurus of the Gavrantuici tribe, where he was later buried. There are several versions of the tale, one says he lost his ring while fishing in a nearby river, some years later he caught a pike in the same river, took it home for the table and when it was cut open after being cooked, the ring was found. Another says he lost the ring in the River Costa and wrongly accused a kitched maid of stealing it. When the palace cook found the ring in a pike, the King suffering remorse, sought out the kitchen maid and was so smitten by her beauty that he made her his Queen and named the town "Pike-ring". | The pike and ring refer to the legends surrounding the founding of the town around 270 BC by a King Peredurus of the Gavrantuici tribe, where he was later buried.
