I don't know. Either the Italians were once really good at warfare or everyone else was crap.

>>59687706
Those in my area were more or less strongly simplified in the last 2000 years
>Mogontiacum - Mainz
>Borbetomagus - Worms
>Altiaia - Alzey
>Augusta Trevorum - Trier
>Confluentes - Koblenz
>Bingium - Bingen
etc
Many of them were Romanised Celtic names to begin with

Toledo
>Salamantica
Salamanca
>Tingi
Tangier
>Colonia
Cologne
>Londinium
London
and the list goes on. They are not exactly the same but neither are they renamed
>>59687532
>we
>>59687706
Londinium -> London
Roma -> Rome
Quite similar
>>59687706
Most of the French ones you can see on the map have been renamed, but Narbo in the Narbonensis has become Narbonne so it's close enough
>59687706
For major settlements in Germania Inferior:
>Colonia Agrippina
Cologne
>Noviomagnus
Nijmegen
>Trajectum
Utrecht
>Trajectum ad Mosam
Maastricht

Whoops

You know how emperor-era rome had no real system of succession and every new emperor was eventually murdered and civil wars kept following? And wealth had become too concentrated in the hands of landowners making the state weak? And then multiple huge fucking plagues killed everyone? And christians became majority and stagnated roman culture with their endless moral restrictions? And then the post-split roman successors refused to reunite because of a power struggle between the Pope and the King of Constantinople? And italians bankrupted East Rome and crusaders sacked Constantinople? And then muslims conquered most of former or remaining roman territories?
That's why there's no Rome anymore.
Since the Eastern empire existed until the 15th century if the western had lasted as well until today we could say we wuz like China and shit cuz 3000 years of grorious civilisation
Rome destruction best day of my life.
