ARPI (Gr. 'ApybpLaaa)

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 641 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ARN-AUD
ARPI (Gr. 'ApybpLaaa) , an ancient city of. Apulia, 20 M. W. of the sea
coast
 , and 5 M. N. of the
modern
  Foggia. The legend attributes its
foundation
  to
Diomedes
 , and the figure of a
horse
 , which appears on its coins, shows the importance of
horse
 -breeding in early times in the
district
 . Its territory extended to the sea, and Strabo says that from the extent of the city walls one could gather that it had once been one of the greatest cities of Italy. As a
protection
  against the Samnites Arpi became an ally of Rome, and remained faithful until after the battle of
Cannae
 , but Fabius captured it in 213 B.C., and it never recovered its former importance. It lay on a by-road from Luceria to Sipontum. No Roman
inscriptions
  have, indeed, been found here, and remains of antiquity are scanty. Foggia is its medieval representative. (T. As.)
