The well-known inscription from Bithia (ICO Sard. n. 8NP) is perhaps dated to 176 AD thanks to the identification of the proconsul M. Peducaeus Plautius Quintillus, son-in-law of Marcus Aurelius, who was probably supported in his office by an official of senatorial or equestrian rank C. Pompeius Felix. The text, although drafted in Neo-Punic, allows us to recognize a society by now deeply influenced by the Latin culture in the small but rich community of the Sulcis, which perhaps uses a late variant of the language of Carthage only for cultual purposes.

Abstract
The well-known inscription from Bithia (ICO Sard. n. 8NP) is perhaps dated to 176 AD thanks to the identification of the proconsul M. Peducaeus Plautius Quintillus, son-in-law of Marcus Aurelius, who was probably supported in his office by an official of senatorial or equestrian rank C. Pompeius Felix. The text, although drafted in Neo-Punic, allows us to recognize a society by now deeply influenced by the Latin culture in the small but rich community of the Sulcis, which perhaps uses a late variant of the language of Carthage only for cultual purposes.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
