Dalla fine del VI sec. a.C., le relazioni tra la Fenicia e le colonie del Mediterraneo occidentale sono segnate da un evidente rinnovamento. In quest'epoca, la parziale autonomia delle città-stato orientali, concessa loro dalla politica dell'impero persiano, consente il ripristino e lo sviluppo dei contatti, portando all'affermazione di rinnovati stimoli ed esperienze culturali nel mondo punico. In particolare, i dati archeologici raccolti in Sardegna, contesto al quale sono dedicate le presenti considerazioni, permettono di inserire l'isola in un panorama articolato, che collega la regione sia alla madrepatria sia a Cartagine, quest'ultima probabilmente giocando, in un simile quadro storico, un ruolo di mediazione. Considerando il caso specifico del tempio di Antas (Sardegna interna sudoccidentale) e la morfologia del dio Sid venerato nel luogo, la presenti riflessioni si concentreranno su alcuni aspetti della religione fenicia e punica dell'isola, che appaiono fortemente debitori delle nuove e peculiari condizioni storiche.

Abstract
From the second half of the 6th century B.C.E., the relationships between Phoenicia and the colonies of the Western Mediterranean are characterized by a noticeable renewal. During this Age, the partial autonomy of the Eastern cities-state, granted by the Persian empire policy, allows the increasing of contacts, that bring new cultural contributions and experiences into the Punic world. In particular, the archaeological documentation coming from Sardinia, which our considerations are dedicated to, permit to insert the island in an articulated panorama, which links the region both to the motherland and Carthage, the latter probably playing, in such an historical frame, a mediation role. Specifically considering the Antas temple (south-western Sardinia) and the god Sid morphology, worshipped in it, our paper aims to focus on some aspects of the island's Phoenician and Punic religion, which seem to be strongly connected to the new, peculiar, historical conditions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
