Soluntum

Soluntum or Solus was an ancient city on the Tyrrhenian coast of Sicily near present-day in the comune of Santa Flavia, Italy. In antiquity, it was one of the three chief Phoenician settlements in the island.

The Greek name appears in surviving coins as Solontînos but appears variously in other sources as Solóeis , Soloûs , and Solountînos. Some scholars contend that Soluntum and Solus were two different cities at close quarters, Soluntum, higher upon the hillside, being a later habitation displacing the earlier settlement of Solus, at a lower elevation. These were latinized as Soluntum and Solus, which became the modern Italian name Solunto.
