Ziz (Panormos), Punic Sicily, c. 336 - 330 B.C.
|Punic| |Sicily|, |Ziz| |(Panormos),| |Punic| |Sicily,| |c.| |336| |-| |330| |B.C.|, Panormos was the ancient Greek name (meaning, 'All-haven') for present day Palermo. Palermo was, however, originally a Phoenician colony and numismatists identify the city before Greek rule with the Punic name Ziz. It seems the only evidence for this ancient name is the coinage and some scholars believe that Ziz may have been another city.
