Biography
Archaeologist specialising in Punic and Phoenician culture, Sabatino Moscati was
instrumental in bringing new archaeological findings to the general public.
Born in Rome in 1923, Moscati discovered the Punic city of Monte Sirai in Sardinia, as
well as a series of fortresses of the Punic era in Tunisia, Sicily and other regions in
the Mediterranean basin.Before Moscati's discoveries, knowledge of Punic civilisations of
the 2nd and 3rd Centuries BC was limited, being largely overshadowed by interest in the
Roman and Etruscan civilisations. |
