Summary/Abstract: Among the factors on which the uniqueness of Sardinia history depends ,island character and central position in the Mediterranean seem particularly significant. It is on the island of Sardinia, "in the center of the Mediterranean". Realized historical synthesis of geographical, political and legal special features. Historical events show that the Island of Sardinia it was never an isolated entity in the context of Mediterranean civilization. Against the insular character as almost a "general place" in the sense of disparaging the island as a periphery in relation to the continents,the insular character proved to be a value, a great value indeed for Sardinia, a central island in the Mediterranean, a sea that is only half exceptional to itself (as evidenced, in fact, by its name), located "in the middle of countries", that is, in the middle of three continents: Asia, Africa and Europe. We can say that in the history of Sardinia the physical-environmental components of its island position, rather than as an obstacle with contacts with other territories and peoples, can be seen as a predetermining condition for the way these contacts were assimilated/absorbed to the extent they were compatible, or rejected if they were opposite and in conflict with already existing social and legal structures.
