Ar was the chief city of Moab on the Arnon River, so central to the nation that "Ar of Moab" became a byname for Moab itself (Numbers 21:28; Isaiah 15:1). It was spared by God's command when Israel passed through Moabite territory (Deuteronomy 2:9), and in Roman times it was known as Areopolis; its ruins survive at Rabba in modern Jordan.
