I do not know how accurate this is but it shows for this site at least that an older name was incorporated into the ,at then, modern site. There must be many more but probably "untranslatable" if they exists at all, as the sites have probably been lost over time.
The Durotriges Civitas becomes Durnovaria......not as i would say...Durotrigesium...........big change from the others. Has that to do with local names that could not be translated into Latin?
The mind boggles.
