Kaukana

settlement · 30 BC – 640 AD

An ancient settlement of Sicily mentioned by Ptolemy and by Procopius. It has been long identified by many scholars with an archaeologically attested settlement at modern Punta Secca; however, identification has been rejected, because there is no natural harbor at Punta Secca, by RJA Wilson in favor of an as-yet-unlocated position on the coast somewhere east of Capo Scalambri.
