Abstract
The Phoenician ships begin to sail the seas of the West during the second half of the ninth century BC. Between the Atlantic area and the central Mediterranean a series of emporia, such as Huelva, La Rebanadilla and Utica return the earliest evidence of this important phenomenon of interaction with the local communities. It will lead, by the end of the century, to the structuring of a real Phoenician trade network stretched from the coasts of the Near East to the Portuguese and Moroccan coast. This paper examines the general outlook of the first Phoenician voyages starting from a center-Mediterranean perspective and prioritizing the strategic role played by the Sardinian island in the definition and expansion of the Phoenician trading strategies.
