CORNUS

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 179 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
CORNUS , an ancient town of
Sardinia
 , of Phoenician origin, on the west
coast
 , 18 m. from
Tharros
 , and the same from Bosa. At the time of the Second Punic War it is spoken of as the
principal
  city of the
district
 , and its capture by the Romans was the last act in the suppression of the rebellion of 215 B.C., it having served as a place of
refuge
  for the fugitives after the defeat of the combined forces of the rebels and the Carthaginians. The site of the ancient
acropolis
 , covered with debris, may still be made out. Here were found three
inscriptions
  in 1831, with dedications by the ordo, or town council, of Cornus to various patrons, from one of which it seems that it was a colony, though when it became so is unknown (Th. Mommsen, Corp. Inscr. Lat. X. 7915 sqq.). Unimportant remains of an aqueduct and (perhaps) of a
church
  exist. Excavations in the necropolis of the Roman period are recorded by F. Nissardi, Notizie degli Scavi, 1887, p. 47. Phoenician
rock
 -cut tombs may also be seen.
