Well I have found the Saxon Shore written, in some sites, as "Litus Saxonicus", It seems OK, but I have found as well Litus Saxonicum. Source: Notitia dignitatum.

lītus, gen. lītŏris “shore” is definitely neuter. Litus saxonicus is thus wrong (unless you mean lĭtus, gen. -ūs “smearing”, which is masculine).

2This answer could be improved: If "saxonicus" is wrong, does that mean "saxonicum" is right? – Quuxplusone Sep 26 '21 at 17:17

@Quuxplusone. Correct. – fdb Sep 26 '21 at 17:58

2Yes, this answer could be clearer. After all, not all neuter adjectives end in -um either (e.g. litus Cantiense), but Saxonicus, -a, -um does indeed. – Sebastian Koppehel Sep 26 '21 at 19:47
