Orippo was a Roman town of Hispania Baetica, on the road from Gades to Hispalis.[1][2]
History[edit]
Orippo is commonly identified with Villa de dos Hermaños, though some have mentioned Alcala de Guadaira and Torre de los Herberos.[2]
Ancient coins of the place often have a bunch of grapes, showing that the neighbourhood was rich in wines, a character which it still preserves.[2]
