List Of Roman Place Names In Britain




This list includes only names documented from Roman times. For a more complete list including later Latin names, see List Of Latin Place Names In North Atlantic Islands .

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.
