Abstract
Abstract The “Sacra Tharrhica Project” was started by the University of Bologna in cooperation with the University of Cagliari in 2017. The aim is to obtain a 3D virtual reconstruction of all temple structures of the Punic settlement of Tharros on the central west coast of Sardinia, starting from a systematic architectural and archaeological study of the Punic and Roman phases of the buildings. The project has firstly focused on the “Monumental Temple” or “Doric half-columns Temple”. This Punic sacred area was probably monumentalized between the late 4th and 3rd centuries B.C. After the Roman conquest, it was rebuilt between the 1st century B.C. and the 1st century A.D.

The Punic-Roman site of Tharros1 is located on the central west coast of Sardinia (Fig. 1 a), between San Giovanni hill, Su Murru Mannu hill, and the Oristano Gulf coastline (Fig. 1 b)
Annual archaeological campaigns were conducted in the area of Su Murru Mannu hill by the Alma Mater Studiorum – University of Bologna, CNR (Centro di Studio per la Civiltà fenicia e punica) and the Archaeological Superintendence of Cagliari and Oristano until 1998 (Bultrini et al, 2000
Summary
The Punic-Roman site of Tharros is located on the central west coast of Sardinia (Fig. 1 a), between San Giovanni hill, Su Murru Mannu hill, and the Oristano Gulf coastline (Fig. 1 b). Annual archaeological campaigns were conducted in the area of Su Murru Mannu hill by the Alma Mater Studiorum – University of Bologna, CNR (Centro di Studio per la Civiltà fenicia e punica) and the Archaeological Superintendence of Cagliari and Oristano until 1998 (Bultrini et al, 2000). In recent years the archaeological fieldwork resumed in the northern necropolis by University of Cagliari (Del Vais, 2017 and previous bibliography) and in the southern necropolis by the Alma Mater Studiorum – University of Bologna (Fariselli, 2013; Secci, 2014–2015; Fariselli, Silani, & Vandini, 2017; Fariselli, 2018), and this is still ongoing.
