- Note
- The Nuragic civilization, also known as the Nuragic culture, was a civilization or culture on the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, Italy, which lasted from the 18th century BCE (Middle Bronze Age) (or from the 23rd century BCE ) up to the Roman colonization in 238 BCE. Others date the culture as lasting at least until the 2nd century AD and in some areas, namely the Barbagia, to the 6th century AD or possibly even to the 11th century AD.[10]
The adjective "Nuragic" is neither an autonym nor an ethnonym. It derives from the island´s most characteristic monument, the nuraghe, a tower-fortress type of construction the ancient Sardinians built in large numbers starting from about 1800 BC.[11] Today more than 7,000 nuraghes[a] dot the Sardinian landscape.
