In the large $N_c$ limit of QCD, baryons can be modeled as solitons, for instance, as Skyrmions. This modeling has been justified by Witten's demonstration that all properties of baryons and mesons scale with $N_c^{-1/2}$ in the same way as the analogous meson-based soliton model scales with a generic meson-meson coupling constant $g$. An alternative large $N_c$ limit (the orientifold large $N_c$ limit) has recently been proposed in which quarks transform in the two-index antisymmetric representation of $SU(N_c)$. By carrying out the analog of Witten's analysis for the new orientifold large $N_c$ limit, we show that baryons and solitons can also be identified in the orientifold large $N_c$ limit. However, in the orientifold large $N_c$ limit, the interaction amplitudes and matrix elements scale with $N_c^{-1}$ in the same way as soliton models scale with the generic meson coupling constant $g$ rather than as $N_c^{-1/2}$ as in the traditional large $N_c$ limit.
