Latin names of European places
+1
−0
The novel I am writing is set in Europe. For the setting, I'd need to find the Latin names of places, e.g. villages and geographical features, in the regions corresponding to modern-day England and Germany.
I am very flexible on the time period in which the names were in use (e.g. Latin names surviving the Roman occupation into any part of the Middle Ages are still fine). I am more interested in the highest resolution that is achievable. For instance, names of minor villages, or hills, or streams of water, or smaller gulfs.
Is there an online resource that contains this information?

As it turns out, Wikipedia has your answer:
- List of Latin place names in Continental Europe, Ireland and Scandinavia
- List of Roman place names in Britain
Wikipedia also has the "external links" section for more details.
