Note: Largely coextensive with the modern region of France. Island was inhabited in ancient times by Etruscans, Phoenicians, Phocaeans, and Carthaginians; went to Rome in the 3rd century BCE, to Vandals in the 5th century CE, then to Byzantines; later held by Goths, Franks, and Saracens; disputed by Pisa and Genoa from the 14th century. For the region of France having the same name, use "Corse (region (administrative division))." |
