Nel contributo le autrici propongono un tentativo di ricostruzione della città di Sulci nella fisionomia assunta nella tarda antichità e nell’alto medioevo, basata sulla rilettura di notizie da vecchi scavi e studi, sui dati dalle recenti indagini e sulle nuove proposte. Si esamina l’assetto topografico dell’area urbana in relazione al presunto percorso del circuito murario e alla dislocazione delle aree suburbane. L’attenzione viene focalizzata sui luoghi simbolo della vita pubblica e sociale dei secoli compresi fra il IV e l’XI, quando nell’antica città giunsero i monaci dell’abbazia di San Vittore di Marsiglia: centri del potere civile e religioso, testimonianze della diffusione del cristianesimo (culti, santuari e monaci). Pur nella frammentarietà dei dati, si può dire che Sulci visse a lungo, come attestano anche i rinvenimenti di cultura materiale sulla terraferma e nei relitti navali affondati lungo le sue coste. Il quadro che emerge presenta aspetti interessanti e meritevoli di futuri approfondimenti

Abstract
In this paper the authors tried to draw the aspect of the town of Sulci in Late Antiquity and Early Middle Age, basing on some information coming out from old diggings and literature together with data from recent archaeological investigations and new hypothesis. They analyzed the topography of the urban area related to the hypothetical line of the urban walls and the suburban cemeteries. They focused particularly on the sites symbols of the public and social life from the 4th and the 11th Centuries, when the monks of Saint Victor’s Abbey at Marsiglia arrived in the ancient town of Sulci: the main sites of the civil and religious authorities, the evidence of Christian religion (worship, shrines and monks). Even if there are not yet so much archaeological evidence about the post classical period, it is possible to say that Sulci had a long life, as the objects found in archaeological layers and in shipwrecks prove. The results suggest that many interesting aspect should examined in depth in future researches.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
