Astapa or Ostippo (Estepa) Sevilla, Spain.
Situated between Osuna and Puente Genil and mentioned by Pliny (NH 3.12). The
modern town surrounds the hill on which Astapa must have stood; but excavation
has produced no traces. Livy (28.22; 28.23.5) and Appian (Iber. 33) recount the
capture of Astapa by Marcius while Scipio retired to Carthago Nova after taking
Castulo and Iliturgi in 206 B.C. Famous for its defense by its inhabitants who,
after firing the town and consigning its valuables to the flames, slew their wives
and children and one another. Rome gained nothing by its capture. Livy writes
of it "ingenia incolarum latrocinio laeta". Its final fate reminds us
of Numantia.
