List of Roman place names in Britain From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A partial list of Roman place names in Great Britain.
This list includes only names documented from Roman times.
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.
