Arpi (Argyrippa or Argos Hippium) was an ancient city of
Apulia
,
Italy
, 20 mi. W. of the sea coast, and 5 mi. 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. In the war with
Pyrrhus
, the Arpani aided Rome with a
contingent of 4000 foot and 400 horse. Arpi remained faithful to Rome until
Rome’s defeat at the
battle of Cannae
, but the consul Quintus Fabius
Maximus, son of the famous Roman dictator
Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus
, 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.
