The well temple complex in Cornus, witness to a Roman battlefield

In 259 BC, Cornus, an ancient Punic-Roman town, saw a historic conflict between the Sardinians, the Roman Republic, and the Carthaginians. Now, the site boasts a magnificent well temple complex, remnants of a time when Roman soldiers faced battle.

Cornus, an ancient Punic-Roman town in Sardinia, near the modern-day town of Cuglieri, was the site of a significant conflict in 259 BC. This battle, during the revolt of Hampsicora, saw the Sardinians, the Roman Republic, and the Carthaginians clash. Today, Cornus is an archaeological site. A large well temple complex stands where Roman soldiers once fought, a testament to the historic event that occurred there.
