Use your imagination, mate!
Macopsissa belongs to the Sardi. To the Romans, they were known as "pelliti", which means "fur-covered". The Sardi were tough warriors, who held off the Roman expansion for a long time. That's about all we know. But why were they fur-covered? Were they shepherds perhaps? How come they were so warlike? And why, more importantly, did the Phoenicians supposedly call the capital of the Sardi "town jewel"? Was it more than a tribal village, perhaps? I'd speculate some more if I were you.
Thanks for showing interest, btw.
