Solonium

SOLO´NIUM(Σολώνιον), in Gallia Narbonensís, where C. Pomptinus defeated the Allobroges, B.C. 61. (Dio Cass.; Liv. Epit. 103, where it is said, C. Pontinius Praetor Allobroges qui rebellaverant ad Salonemn (Solonem?) domuit.) It has been conjectured that Solonium is Sallonaz, in the department of Ain, near the small river Brivas;but this is merely a guess. The narrative of Dion is useless, as usual, for determining anything with precision. Other guesses have been made about the position of Solonium; one of which is too absurd to mention.
