Arpi, Archaeological site near Foggia, Italy.

The remains of Argos Hippium extend across a D-shaped area bordered by Torrente Celone, revealing foundations of ancient structures and defensive walls.

Founded in the second millennium BC, the settlement evolved from Argos Hippium to Argyrippa and finally to Arpi, falling to Roman control in 213 BC.

The archaeological excavations uncovered numerous Iron Age pottery fragments, indicating a developed craft industry and trade relations with neighboring settlements.

The archaeological site lies 8 kilometers northeast of Foggia, with research activities continuing to uncover new sections of the ancient settlement.

Coins discovered at the site display horse imagery, reflecting the settlement's connection to horse breeding and the origin of its name, Argos Hippium.
