BESIPPO or BAESIPPO(Βαισίππω), a city of the Turdetani, on or near the S. coast of Hispania Baetica, just outside the Straits, E. of the Pr. Junonis ( C. Trafalgar), and 12 M. P. W. of Belo. ( Itin. Ant. p. 408; Mela, 2.6; Plin. Nat. 3.1. s. 3; Ptol. ii. 4.14; Geog. Rav. 4.43.) Some identify it with Bejer de la Frontera; but others argue that that place lies too far inland to agree with Pliny's statement that Besippo was a seaport, and take the Roman ruins near Porto Barbatofor its site. (Ukert, vol. ii. pt. 1. p. 343.)
