List Of Roman Place Names In BritainA partial list of Roman place names in Great Britain. This list includes only names documented from Roman times. For later Latin names, see List of British places with Latin names. The early sources for Roman names show numerous variants and mis-spellings of the Latin names. Moreover one of the principal authorities, Ptolemy, wrote in Greek so names that he records need to be transliterated back into Latin to reveal the original form. Note that in general only one source is shown below for each name, although many of the names are recorded in more than one of the sources. Region/country names Island names City names See also References - A.L.F. Rivet and Colin Smith, The place-names of Roman Britain. London, 1979 (reprinted by Book Club Associates, 1981).
