The real rebels are the most die-hard ...

The first reports on the presence of Jews in Sardinia dates back to the historians Josephus (first century. ev), Tacitus (writing in 114), Suetonius (75-150 CE) and Cassius (between II and III century. v). All agree that a considerable number (if not 4000 as stated by some) of Jewish residents was sent to Sardinia to Rome by the emperor Tiberius in 19 CE to combat banditry and metal work in the mines of the island. The expulsion of this core was, in this version of the historic Roman punishment for disorders caused by groups of Jews living in the capital of the empire.
The hope was that, because of the unhealthy climate of the island, you perish.
The historical sources have to wait for the letters of Pope Gregory the Great at the turn of the century. VI IV for more information about Jews in the island, whose presence seems to have been continuous for all these centuries.

EL SARRABUS

Sarrabus The region is located in the southeastern part of Sardinia. Its specificity in terms of mining is the presence of both native silver ore argentiferous in a long stretch that grows in southwest - northeast about 35 km (from the slopes of Mount Serpeddì up to the towns of San Vito and Muravera ), by and large about 15.Partendo SouthWest meet Tuviois mines, s'Ilixi Serra, Nicola Secci, Tacconis, S'Arcilloni (all along the Rio Ollastu ) Masaloni , Giovanni Bonu, Monte Narba , Baccu Arrodas (the slopes and gorges of the mountains that crown the western part of the territory of San Vito and Muravera). The period of full operation of all these mines was the one that runs from the last three decades of the nineteenth century to the early decades of the twentieth century, and was a leading figure, especially with regard to its exploitation, French ingenuity Leon Gouin, engaged in a frantic research, company formation and direct exploitation in the 60s and 80s of the nineteenth century.

S. ANTIOCO, IGLESIENTE, CAGLIARI, SARRABUS

With the arrival Deri Roman mining and metallurgy continues to be one of the major economic resources for Sardinia. Monteponi Malacalzetta, St. John and St. George areas are intensely following the excavation work in Roman times. And this is demonstrated by the presence of wells and tunnels. Less popular is the area of \u200b\u200bMotevecchio. Ignored the silver mines of Sarrabus. Of mining on the island is about the time of Emperor Commodus (180-193 BC) when there were many Christians condemned to metalla business, that is to hard labor in the mines. Among them was Callisto, who later became pope. Their release came in 189 BC, thanks to the prayers of March, a lover of the emperor. As evidence of their presence were found inside the gallery named "Su Presone", near the farm of Santa Vittoria (including Iglesiente and Fluminese, location Grugua) of iron rings fixed to the walls. From contemporary documents also show that we were in Sardinia for gold, despite the absence of the precious metal in the island. Pecuniary punishments were imposed on ship captains and their lieutenants in the island carrying the metalheads aurileghi, "and reckless breed of itinerant diggers.", which are considered carriers of unrest and turmoil in an already difficult to enforce. By the discovery of tools, picks, chisels, lamps of different sizes, we deduce that the most important towns in Roman times were: Metal, administrative center of the whole mining delI'Iglesiente, perhaps located in the Antas valley, near the sanctuary or perhaps in the area Grugua near the tunnel "on preson" Ferrara, near San Gregorio, leaden, the current island of S. Antioco, the likely port of embarkation for the silver lead. The ore mining occurred in this way: a red-hot fire in the tunnel the rock, a jet of cold water on the same causing the rapid cooling was causing the break. The ore was transported outside where it was melted in large furnaces capable of supporting several tons of ore. During periods of more intense the casting Roman churn out 150,000 tons of lead and 500 tonnes of silver. Sardinia was the third largest supplier of metals to the Roman Empire, after Spain and Britain.
