Hello my friends!
Sorry about not speaking Italian. But you can reply in Italian, I understand most of it.
I come to this forum searching for some help. My name is Ricardo, I am portuguese and I'm doing some research on roman-period tombs with a semicilyndrical lid, usually called cupae or, in the cases that are realistic sculptures of barrels, cippi a botte.
The realistic ones exist only in Sardegna and Portugal. But in both places there are also other types of cupae.
I would be very thankful if some kind soul would be able of getting me some more information and some photos of a few of the monuments.
Thank you, and very best wishes for everyone and the forum. |

Well, my work is going on; some of the links and suggestions you gave me were very effective! I am now finding several other points of connection between different types of cupae in the Iberian Peninsula and Sardinia.
Something very interesting is that apparently in the early 1st century AD Augustus created a praesidium in Astis for a cohors Lusitanorum. So there were Lusitanian troops there at that time. That may help to explain how you have cippi a botte so similar to the ones in the south of Portugal (there seem to be more here but I cannot say, at least yet, if they went from here to there or the other way around) as well as the presence in Sardegna of an altar dedicated to goddess Ataegina, who was worshipped only in the south of Spain and Portugal.
You can read a bit more about this here:

When my work is more consolidated I'll share the information.
Thanks a lot for everything as always.

Grazie Ricardo, we'll wait for your news.
Stay in touch!

Hi Ricardo
I’m very sorry (and upset). I wasn’t able to find any ref. about the cupae you are interested in.
Everybody says they were excavated (and data collected) but no relevant info at the moment.
I'll go ahead but I'm not confident about a possible result.
Best regars |

...There's no point on trying again... You already gave the right answer, didn't you?

Well, I'm interested to see side effects of beer on a chicken...
There could be at least three of them : laying eggs, spending all the evening in the loo... Or talking until breathless...

Great beach, but with freezing water, usually! I'm sure the Mediterranean beaches are warmer.

Sea water around Sardinia is not so warm, especially on the west coast exposed to NW winds. Portinho de Arrabida remainds San Giovanni di Sinis (Tharros) and water temperature is not so much different.
Now you have a new good reason to visit Tharros (swimming in the wawes during a windy day).
