The Rights of War and Peace
Island seized by Rome, cited as part of the Carthaginian justification for war.
They alleged as a reason for their making that war, that, when they were engaged in quelling a mutiny of their own mercenaries, the Romans had declared war, seized upon Sardinia, and levied contributions of money.
De Anima
Island location of the shrine of a hero said to remove dreams from those who sleep there.
For if Aristotle too notes a certain hero of Sardinia who deprives the sleepers in his fane of their visions, this too will be among the wantonness of demons, as much to take away dreams as to bring them in, so that the mark of Nero too, a late dreamer, and of Thrasymedes proceeded thence.
