Prime examples date back to the Punic period Maracalagonis In fact it seems that the factors "Mara" and "Calagonis" terms derived from the Semitic "Hamar" and "Chalaça" meaning "swamp" and "fertile place" and get along with geomorphic aspects of the strip of land that is including the city. But the one just cited is not the only theory on the birth of the country. The current name, in fact, derives from the union of two ancient cities exist in the area such as that of Mara and Calagone to two separate villages and Calagone existed before Mara, according to historian Father Salvatore Vidal, it is derived from two items Hamar Chalaça and, in another study done at the University of Cagliari Kalagonis seems to be called "Talagonis (RDI SARD. XIII century), other theories, however, give rise to the ruins of the Mara Tidore or Tiziora founded by Families Jews who settle in, gave this place the name of Mara, in memory of the Palestinian desert area "Sur" where Moses after crossing the Red Sea where Pharaoh's army was decimated, made drinking the bitter waters luogo.Kalagonis was a center of densely populated, it seems that in the period reached its peak to 80,000 inhabitants and is extended until location "Figu Niedda, or Village of Mimosa. Testimonials and discoveries made around the country seem to confirm this hypothesis. Many scholars argue that Kalagonis was destroyed twice and after the first destruction, he was resettled to the 19 AD when the Roman emperor Tiberius sent 4,000 young people in Sardinia between Jews and Egyptians, who settled between Sinnai and Kalagonis. Sardinia, we know has always been a land of exile. Under the domination Roman Island (from 214 BC) in Pran'e Sili (Exile), 6 Km from Mara, had been created a collection of Roman slaves deported, including the Jews are mentioned. Many Jews, however, decided to move from Kalagonis and repair to the nearby Sinnai because there was a mountain similar to theirs. Not all chose to emigrate. In fact the Egyptians were a Jew and a few Kalagonis together in this way, the village of Mara on the ruins of Tidore or Tiziora.
