A tributary of the ISTER (Danube). Herodotus describes the Alpis River as flowing north out of the land above the OMBRICANS along with the CARPIS RIVER (4.49.1). A garbled reflection of the Alps is possible; the Roman‐era geographer STRABO (7.5.2/C314) also refers to “the Calapis which flows from the Albian Mountain.” If this is the same river as Pliny the Elder’s Colapis (HN 3.148; BA 20 C4), the modern Kupa/Kolpa is a possible identification.
