[AuRiNx.] ORIPPO, a town of Hispania Baetica, on theroad from Gades to Hispalis. (Plin. iii. 3;Jtin. Ant. p. 410.) Commonly identified withVilla de dos Hermanos, though some have men-tioned Alcala de Guadaira and Torre de los Her-heros. Ancient coins of the place have a bunrh ofgrapes, showing that the neighbourhood was rich inwines, a character which it still preserves. (Caro,Ant. iii. 20; Florez, Esp. Sagr. ix. p.
