Orippo was a Roman town of Hispania Baetica, on the road from Gades to Hispalis.12
History
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
