Onomastic Remarks on Roman Sardinia

THE ROMANS SEIZED and began occupying the island of Sardinia in 238 B. C., it had been settled by Punic-speaking Carthaginians and by indigenous natives (Protosardi), who had linguistic affinities with the indigenous populations of North Mrica (Libyans), Spain (Iberians), and North-west Italy (Ligurians).lHence, the nomenclature of individuals from Roman Sardinia exhibits relationships with these areas, some of which have long since been pointed out.First, the Punic names preserved primarily on Punic and neo-Punic inscriptions (fig. 1 and 2) as well as in Cicero and on Latin inscriptions (these comprise about 3 percent of the total):2 Aris (Cic.Scaur.frg. 2. 6), a notable from Nora; btlslk (Punic, 32: Tharros), an architect; bb'l (Neo-punic, 8: Bitia), a sufete; bd' son of tbd' (Punic, 26: Nora); tbdh-son of t-(Punic, 32: Tharros), a sufete; tbdksr (Punic, 32: Tharros); tbdmlqrt son of Cbdmlqrt (Neo-punic, 6: Sulci); Cbdsg-(Punic, 32: Tharros); tbd'smn son of l)mlk (Punic, 9: near S.
