• Resumen

  • The paper presents an inscribed Punic stele reused in the church of Sant’Efisio di Pula (Sardinia). The typological analysis of the stone monument and the votive formula of the inscription indicate that the stele was primarily dedicated as an ex voto in the tophet of Nora, located near the church. The paper also takes stock of the re-use of Punic stelae from the tophet of Nora in the church of Sant’Efisio and the adjacent structure, known as the “Casa dell’Alter Nos”.
