History Of Sardinia
Archaeological evidence of prehistoric human settlement on the island of Sardinia is present in the form of nuraghes and other prehistoric monuments, which dot the land. The recorded history of Sardinia begins with its contacts with the various people who sought to dominate western Mediterranean trade in Classical Antiquity: Phoenicians, Punics and Romans. Initially under the political and economic alliance with the Phoenician cities, it was partly conquered by Carthage in the late 6th century BC and then entirely by Rome after the First Punic War (238 BC). The island was included for centuries in the Roman province of Sardinia and Corsica, which would be incorporated into the diocese of ''Italia suburbicaria'' in 3rd and 4th centuries. In the Early Middle Ages, through the European barbarian movements, the waning of the Byzantine Empire influence in the western Mediterranean and the Saracen raids, the island fell out of the sphere of influence of any higher government; this led ...

Lacon, Alabama
Lacon , also known as Cedar Crossing, is a ghost town in extreme southern Morgan County, Alabama, Morgan County, Alabama, United States. Lacon was named after Lacon, Illinois. Built at the northern foot of Burleson Mountain, alongside the railroad track there, a spring and good clay enabled a substantial brickyard. The Lacon brickyard made bricks with a distinctive mark, "LACON", imprinted on the large sides of the bricks. After the brickyard closed and a new highway bypassed the town, the village practically disappeared with services being assumed by the nearby town of Falkville, Alabama, Falkville. The Lacon site was reborn by the 1970s as a large weekend flea market, Lacon Trade Day. Exit 318 of Interstate 65 is the "Lacon" exit and is less than one mile south of the old town site and present day flea market. A "lagoon" alongside U.S. Highway 31 and Trade Day is said to be a legacy of digging clay for the brick factory. A post office operated under the name Lacon from 1891 ...
