Encyclopedia Britannica



USELIS (mod. Usellus)

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 809 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TUM-VAN
USELIS (mod. Usellus) , an ancient town of
Sardinia
 , situated in the hills to the S.E. of Oristano, 900 ft. above sea-level. A bronze tablet of A.D. 158 (a tabula patronatus, setting forth that M. Aristius Balbinus had accepted the position of
patron
  of the town for himself and his heirs) speaks of the place as Colonia Julia Augusta
Uselis
 . From this it would seem that it had become a colony under
Augustus
 , were it not that Pliny (H.N. iii. 85) asserts that Turris Libisonis was the only colony in
Sardinia
  at his time. It may be that civic rights were obtained from
Augustus
  (Th. Mommsen in Corp. Inscr. Lat. x. p. 816). The site of the ancient town is marked by the
church
  of S. Reparata, and various antiquities have been found there. The episcopal see was transferred to
Ales
  in the 12th '
century
 , though the old name is still officially used.
