Corsica Et Sardinia




The Phoenicians were the first ones who established several commercial stations in Corsica and in Sardinia . After the Phoenicians, there arrived the Greeks, who also established their colonies. The Carthaginians , with the help of the Etruscans , conquered the Phoenicians in Alalia, a colony in Corsica, in 535 BC. After Corsica, Sardinia also came under control of the Carthaginians.

After the First Punic War , the Romans began to attack Sardinia from 259 BC on but did not take it.
