Several ancient chronicles state that Neapolis was divided from Partenope or Palepolis by a river, partly navigable, "between monte S. Erasmo and monte di Patruscolo". This puts the river mouth on what is now the site of piazza Municipio. Quintus Publilius Philo camped his Roman army at this river mouth during his siege of the cities.

Sebéto era il nome del fiume che bagnava l'antica Neapolis. Il suo antico nome greco, tramandatoci sul verso di alcune monete coniate fra il V secolo a.C. e il IV secolo a.C., era Sepeithos, traducibile come "andar con impeto", probabile riferimento al corso irruente del fiume.
