When I was searching Google Earth recently I discovered that the name of Epiacum taken from the the map of Ptolemy has now been given to the Roman Fort of Whitley Castle between Northumberland and Cumbria.
I wonder if anyone knows any reason for this to have been done, or indeed any other archaeological evidence that would support Google now using this piece of questionable information.
