Corsica et Sardinia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Corsica et Sardinia was an ancient Roman province including Corsica and Sardinia.
The Phoenicians were the first ones who established several commercial stations in Corsica and in Sardinia. After the Phoenicians, there arrived the Greeks, who also established their colonies. The Carthaginians, with the help of the Etruscans, conquered the Phoenicians in Alalia, a colony in Corsica, in 535 BC. After Corsica, Sardinia also came under control of the Carthaginians.
After the First Punic War, the Romans began to attack Sardinia from 259 BC on but did not take it. The Romans took Corisca and Sardinia after the First Punic War.
