Ancient Village or Settlement in Lazio/Roma

Arpino's ancient acropolis features well preserved Pelasgian cyclopean stone walls probably from the mid to late first millenium BC, including a unique and picturesque corbelled entry arch called the Arco a Sesto Acuta.

The ancient city of Arpinum dates back to at least the 7th century BC. Connected with the Pelasgi, the Volscian and Samnite people, it was captured by the Romans and granted civitas sine suffragio in 305 BC. The city gained Roman suffrage in 188 BC and the status of a municipium in 90 BC. After the 11th century it was ruled by the Normans, the Hohenstaufen and by the Papal States.

Arpino is the birthplace of Roman philosopher Cicero. There is an unconfirmed oral tradition that Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa was also a native of Arpinum.
