WHAT DOES SOLUS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

solus

Soluntum

Soluntum or Solus was an ancient city of Sicily, one of the three chief Phoenician settlements in the island, situated on the north coast, about 16 kilometres east of Panormus, and immediately to the east of the bold promontory called Capo Zafferano. It lay 183 metres above sea level, on the southeast side of Monte Catalfano 373 metres, in a naturally strong situation, and commanding a fine view. 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. Its current site is at the località of Sòlanto in the comune of Santa Flavia.
