Coracenses facts for kids

The Coracenses were an ancient group of people who lived on the large island of Sardinia, which is located in the Mediterranean Sea. They were mentioned by a famous ancient geographer named Ptolemy in his writings.

Who Were the Coracenses?

The Coracenses were one of many different tribes or groups of people who lived in Sardinia a very long time ago. We don't know a lot of details about their daily lives or their culture. Most of what we know comes from ancient maps and descriptions by writers like Ptolemy. He helped us understand where different groups lived on the island.

Where Did They Live?

The Coracenses lived in a specific part of Sardinia. According to Ptolemy, their land was south of two other ancient groups: the Tibulati and the Corsi. The Corsi people are especially interesting because the nearby island of Corsica is named after them! The Coracenses also lived north of two other groups, the Carenses and the Cunusitani. This tells us they were in the central-northern part of the island.

Ancient Sardinia's Peoples

Sardinia was home to many different peoples in ancient times. Each group had its own territory. They often lived in small villages or settlements. These groups might have had their own customs and ways of life. Understanding where each group lived helps historians and archaeologists piece together the ancient history of Sardinia. It shows how the island was divided among different communities long ago.
