SULCI

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 52 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
SULCI , an ancient town (mod. S. Antioco), situated on the
east
 
coast
  of an
island
  on the
south
 -west of
Sardinia
 . The date of its foundationis not known, but it is certainly of Carthaginian origin. The assumption that it was originally an Egyptian colony is not justified. Its walls, of large rectangular blocks of stone, can be traced for a circuit of upwards of a mile: it extended to the low ground on the shore near the
modern
  cemetery, where a dedicatory inscription set up by the
people
  of Sulci in honour of Hadrian in A.D. 128 was found (F. Vivanet in Notizie degli Scavi, 1897, 407). Various discoveries have been made within the circuit, both of Phoenician and of Roman antiquities, including several statues2 and
inscriptions
  and many smaller objects, gems, &c., but at present few traces of ancient buildings are left, owing to their continued destruction in medieval and
modern
  times. A cistern of fine masonry, perhaps dating from the Punic period,
2 A statue of Drusus, the brother of Tiberius (?) was found in 1908.
