An unpublished letter of 27 July 1868 is presented here with a facsimile of the famous inscription engraved on three sides on a terminal stone in the Cornus area in the Republican age (exactly a <em>terminus trifinius</em>). There are many reasons that lead us to exclude the reading of Theodor Mommsen who thought of a <em>praefectura Nymphaei Portus, </em>which would presuppose the foundation of the colony of Turris Libisonis. It is possible to demonstrate that the construction of the western coastal road north of Cornus coincided with the <em>adsignatio finium</em> operations for immigrants from Magna Graecia, perhaps according to an original project by Gaius Gracchus. The installation of the cadastre in the province seems linked to the military operations of M. Cecilius Metellus and to the naturalistic investigations of Lucilius, which concerned <em>Barbaria</em>.</p>2024-02-22T00:00:00+01:00##submission.copyrightStatement##https://ojs.unica.it/index.php/layers/article/view/5088Spade nella Sardegna nuragica: tipologia, contesti, problematiche2024-03-28T09:42:41+01:00Marco Mattamarcomatta90@gmail.com<p><strong>Abstract:</strong> This contribution proposes typological, functional, and sociocultural considerations regarding artifacts falling into the categories of swords and daggers chronologically framed in the context of Nuragic Sardinia (Middle Bronze - Early Iron Age), with the sole exclusion of the artifacts called «votive swords».</p>2024-03-27T14:05:46+01:00##submission.copyrightStatement##
