NAVICVL(ARI) ET NEGOTIANTES / KARALITANI

We are dealing with Caralis, modern Cagliari on the south coast of Sardinia. it was the capital of the province Sardinia et Corsica.

The two grain measures indicate that grain was exported, and we know that Sardinia was an important grain supplier of Rome. Apart from stationes 15 and 16 (special cases) this is the only statio where negotiantes are mentioned. The reason for this must be that a distinction had to be made between Caralis and Turris Libisonis in statio 19: the two ports had their own navicularii, but the same traders were active in both cities, possibly on the whole of Sardinia and Corsica, and based in Caralis.

The domini navium (ship owners) from Sardinia joined forces with the ship owners of Africa Proconsularis (see statio 12) at an unknown point in time. This cooperation, possibly in a single corpus, is reflected by the presence of Sardinian navicularii amongst the African navicularii on the east side of the square.
