Hi Jona, if you want I have the recent (1 month ago) published book about this road (in German) wich tells us how they got their name.
Simply it is the following. They don't know the ancient name, they don't know exactly who/when it was build (but they've of course their predictions). It's the way from Cologne to Boulogne-sur-Mer. Most of it is in the province of Belgica, so they called it the via Belgica. It's a fouls-man choise based on the location of the road, it seems.
The book: Erlebnisraum Römerstrasse - Via belgica; Materialen zur Bodendenkmalpflege im Rheinland 18/2; Landschaftsverband Rheinland - ISBN 978-3-935522-01-4
