London's largest Roman Mosaic Find in 50 Years Uncovered

Archaeologists have uncovered the largest area of Roman mosaic found in London for more than half a century.

The two highly decorated panels feature large, colourful flowers, geometric patterns and elaborate motifs in a style unique to the capital.

It is thought it once decorated the floor of a Roman dining room.

The Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) find came during excavations as part of the construction of a regeneration project near the Shard in Southwark.

MOLA site supervisor, Antonietta Lerz, said: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime find in London. It has been a privilege to work on such a large site where the Roman archaeology is largely undisturbed by later activity - when the first flashes of colour started to emerge through the soil everyone on site was very excited."

It is made up of two panels, with the largest showing large, colourful flowers surrounded by bands of intertwining strands - a motif known as a guilloche.

There are also lotus flowers and several different geometric elements, including a pattern known as Solomon's knot, which is made of two interlaced loops.

Dr David Neal, former archaeologist with English Heritage and leading expert in Roman mosaic, has attributed this design to the "Acanthus group" - a team of mosaicists working in London who developed their own unique local style.

While the largest mosaic panel can be dated to the late 2nd to early 3rd century AD, traces of an earlier mosaic underneath the one currently visible have been identified which shows the room was refurbished over the years.

It was located on the outskirts of Roman Londinium, an area centred on the north bank of the Thames which roughly corresponds to the modern City of London.

A spokesperson for MOLA added the room it was situated in would have contained dining couches, where people would have reclined to eat and it might have been part of a Roman mansio - an upmarket "motel" for state couriers and officials travelling to and from London.

The excavations are part of the Liberty of Southwark regeneration project, which will comprise of homes, workspace, shops and restaurants.

The mosaics will be carefully recorded and assessed by an expert team of conservators before being transported off-site, to enable more detailed conservation work to take place. Future plans for the public display of the mosaics are currently being determined.

Timeline for the site:

AD 43: the Romans, led by emperor Claudius, invade Britain. AD 48-50: London (Londinium) is founded. AD 72: the eastern building currently interpreted as a private residence was built. AD 120-160: the building currently interpreted as a mansio was built. AD 175-225: probable date for the largest mosaic panel in the 'mansio'. 4th century AD: both buildings fall out of use. AD 410: end of Roman control over Britain.

On things I have noticed in translations of St. Teresa the Great

I am deviating from the usual content of this blog to get into more detail about something I mentioned in passing answering an ask from @apesoformythoughts

I have been asked a few times, by native English speakers, to recommend a translation of St Teresa's work, and I have found myself surprised and sometimes even saddened about how much at the very least the tone, if not the meaning of her writing is changed.

I do sort of understand the issue, in a way, because St Teresa is one of the Greatest mystics of the Catholic Church, but she was also a very no-nonsense, plain spoken woman. She didn't write lyrically like St John of the Cross, and unlike St John of the Cross she didn't much like to write anything, and time and time again she says that she's writing because she was told to. She uses many aphorisms and metaphors to make herself understood.

I can see why the English-speaking mind would be more sympathetic to St Therèse's delicate way of using Lamartine's poetry to say "Earth is your vessel, not your home" than to St Teresa's blunt "Life is a bad night at a bad bed and breakfast". It doesn't mean I have to like it.

The worst culprit I have found so far is the 1853 translation by John Dalton, which being in the public domain may be found more often than more modern, accurate translations. Take a look at this famous passage, as Dalton translates it:

"Oh then, my daughters, let there be no neglect but when obedience calls you to exterior employments (as, for example, into kitchen, amidst the pots and dishes), remember that our Lord goes along with you, to help you both in your interior and exterior duties."

This is what St Teresa said in the original:

"Pues ¡ea, hijas mías!, no haya desconsuelo cuando la obediencia os trajere empleadas en cosas exteriores; entended que si es en la cocina, entre los pucheros anda el Señor ayudándoos en lo interior y exterior."

And this is how I would translate it:

"So, ea, my daughters! Do not be disheartened when obedience have you up and down, occupied in exterior things; understand that if it is in the kitchen, between the pans and the pots ambles the Lord, helping you in the internal and the external."

Dalton completely changes the meaning of the quote by changing words (in no possible world desconsuelo can be translated as "neglect") and inserting his own interpretations (qualifying interior and exterior as duties, rather than the generic sense of all things interior and exterior that St Teresa is using in her phrasing). The idea that the saint couldn't have possibly meant that God is found in the kitchen, rather than his condescending to go there would be cute if it wasn't... well, everything that it is.

Another, more inoffensive thing, is the usual translation of Las Moradas, o Castillo Interior as The Interior Castle or The Mansions. I think this is because the Biblical passage alluded there is often translated into English as "there are many mansions in the house of my father", as earlier in time its meaning was closer to the original Latin mansio, place of dwelling. Because that is what a morada is in Spanish, a dwelling. And at this point the meaning of the word mansion is so changed, that it wouldn't hurt to start calling the book The Dwellings, or The Interior Castle.

Now look with me the prologue of this book. I won't make a full comparison, but point out some things to my point. A cursory search on Amazon will give you five main different translations of The Interior Castle.

Kavanaugh's is definitely a good translation, but even there you will find points where the translator will choose turns of phrase and expression that soften, structure or make more elegant the original language. For example, St Teresa says "a la memoria... por tenerla tan mala"; Kavanaugh will use poor memory rather than bad memory (having a poor memory is also an expression in Spanish). He also uses "things which I was told were well said" where St Teresa says "que decían estaban bien dichas": "[things] they say were well said". The tonal shift is minimal, and in all fairness he does keep some things like St Teresa specifically saying that she's literally like a parrot, but I think you can see how it still affects the text. I was told carries the implication that someone gave her feedback, while they said carries more the connotation of gossip and a certain doubt as to the value of such opinions. She's not that convinced, but, well, at least someone said it, so it could be true.

Then Starr's translation shows you how good Kavanaugh's is by contrast. This is the opening lines in the original Spanish:

Estando hoy suplicando a Nuestro Señor hablase por mí, porque yo no atinaba a cosa que decir ni como comenzar a cumplir esta obediencia, se me ofreció lo que ahora diré, para comenzar con algún fundamento: que es, considerar nuestra alma como un castillo todo de diamante u muy claro cristal, adonde hay muchos aposentos, ansí como en el cielo hay muchas Moradas.

This is how Starr translates this passage:

"Today while I was beseeching the Beloved to speak through me (since I couldn't think of anything to say and had no idea how to begin to fulfill this particular vow of obedience), I had a vision that I will share with you now as a foundation we can build on.

It came to me that the soul is like a castle made exclusively of diamond or some other very clear crystal. In this castle there are a multitude of dwellings, just as in Heaven there are many mansions."

This is how I would translate it:

"While I was earlier today beseeching Our Lord to speak through me, as I could not manage to hit the point of what to say or how to begin to fulfill this obedience, it was offered to me what I will say now, so as to begin with some foundation: that it is, to think of our soul as a castle, all made of diamond or very clear crystal, where there are many rooms, just like in Heaven there are many dwellings."

Nope, I still cannot find a good reason why what was clearly Nuestro Señor, Our Lord, became the beloved for Starr. Or how "todo" became "exclusively". Or why Starr specifies vision, where St Teresa simply says that something was offered to her, without telling under which form.

DeWeg makes a much better translation, but the temptation to posh up St Teresa seems irresistible here as well: where Cavanaugh would make St Teresa's memory poor instead of bad, DeWeg would make her "forgetful" (which would have been interesting if St Teresa had used the Spanish equivalent, olvidadiza, because the expression is far more colloquial in Spanish than it is in English. I digress). Where Starr specifies a vision, DeWeg makes it explicitly an idea that occurred to her. And finally, the line where St Teresa says "está muy claro que cuando algo se atinare a decir, entenderán no es mío, pues no hay causa para ello, si no fuere tener tan poco entendimiento como yo habilidad para cosas semejantes" (it is very clear that if something is said that is right, they will understand it does not come from me, because there's no cause to think so, unless as little understanding is had as I have ability for such things) becomes "as with my scant understanding and skill I could write nothing of the sort."

To avoid making this even more long than it is, let's just say that you will find similar changes and omissions in Billy and Zimmerman as you did in DeWeg. They aren't overall terrible translations (Dalton's is, and Starr's is walking on thin ice), but I cannot help but feel and notice that much of the zest, simplicity and closeness that makes St Teresa so special, get so often lost in translation, through what appears to be an effort to make her sound more polished and less blunt. And that is a real pity.

ZAOREJAS

I think this post was long overdue, I wanted to make a post about Cris’ town, hope you like it :)

So, first of all:

This is the town of Zaorejas. It is located in the Province of Guadalajara, autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha (if you want more info about the different autonomous communities of Spain here’s a post I made about it), at about 128 km (79 miles) from Madrid:

It’s at 1225 meters high, has 189 km2 and 116 inhabitants. It is known as “the capital of the High Tagus”, as it sits in the middle of the Alto Tajo Nature Reserve (Tajo is what we call in Spanish the river Tagus), which apparently was a filming location of Game of Thrones’ season 6 so that’s that. Here’s it’s location, as you can see, it takes a big chunk of the Guadalajara province:

And here are some pics of the reserve!!!

So yeah, it’s basically an outdoorsy area with lots of nature and cool sights, my uncle told me he went rafting here some years ago!

Some stuff you can find in Zaorejas proper:

Gancheros Museum: A museum about the gancheros, an abandoned job that consisted of the transportation of logs through the Tagus river

Interpretation Center for the High Tagus: Exactly what it says, Zaorejas wouldn’t be the capital of the High Tagus if it didn’t have a museum about it

Roman Aqueduct: 1 km away from the town, you can find this aqueduct that crossed the Fuentelengua Canyon. It was at one point 12 meters high and under it passed a Roman road. It is unclear why it was here, as there’s no sights of  Roman settlements in the Zaorejas area.

Celtiberian Ruins: There are Celtiberian ruins in La Cabezuela, part of Zaorejas, that indicate Celtiberians, one of the “original” inhabitants of the Iberian Peninsula, populated the area. We know the name of the last tribe that inhabited that town, the titti. 

Roman Road: Zaorejas appears to be located in the mansio (kinda like an inn, they were placed by the side of roads) of Carae. Through the Aqueduct there are remnants of the Laminio - Caesaraugusta road. Laminio is the modern Alhambra (Ciudad Real) and was an Iberian oppidum, and Caesaraugusta is the modern Zaragoza, a very important city in Roman Hispania. 

Also of notice is, apart from the town festivities, one in honour of the male saint, Saint Anthony of Padua (June 13th) and another, more important, in honour of the female saint, the Nativity of Our Lady (September 8th), they celebrate the High Tagus Ganchera Festivity, a festivity in honour of the gancheros. I just want a clip with the girls attempting ganchero’s work please.

Finally, some history. Apparently, during the Civil War, Zaorejas was divided within Nationals and Republicans, and there’s a tale of two inhabitants that were assasinated and buried beside the Roman Aqueduct. Yikes.

That was it!!! Hope you liked it!!!

Wall Roman Site is the terraced remains of a Mansio and a Bath House in Wall, Staffordshire.

The Roman’s would have known it as Letocetum, located at the intersection between two strategically important Roman roads – Watling Street and Ryknield Street.

Watling Street (the modern A5) ran from Richborough (Portia Ritupis) in Kent to Wroxeter (Viroconium) in Shropshire (Wroxeter Roman City is another site I used to manage), travelling through London (Londinium) and High Cross (Venonae) in Leicestershire where it crossed another major Roman Road the Fosse Way.

The Imperial Roman army established a series of forts in Wall as part of their campaigns in the west and the north.

After the army left, the site was developed into a staging post with a mansio (an official stopping place on a Roman road, maintained by the central government for the use of officials and those on official business whilst travelling) and a bathing complex.

It is owned and managed by English Heritage.

REALLY LONG CHARACTER SURVEY

RULES: Repost, don’t reblog ! Tag 11 ! Good luck !

TAGGED: By @theheadlessgroom

TAGGING: Hmmm… @hitchhikinghaunts maybe?

BASICS:

FULL NAME: Thomas Ernest Topper

NICKNAMES: The Hatbox Ghost, Hattie

AGE: At least 200. He lost count somewhere down the line.

BIRTHDAY: May the 9th

ETHNIC GROUP: Skeletal Ghost (in life, Caucasian)

NATIONALITY: Resident of the Haunted Mansio (in life, American )

LANGUAGES: English, with a wee bit of French that is much less advanced that he thinks it is;

ROMANTIC ORIENTATION: Heteroromantic.

RELATIONSHIP STATUS: ‘Engaged’ to Emily Cavanaugh Gracey, alias the Beating Heart Bride. 

CLASS: Lowerclassish. Technically, he was a haberdasher, but his being related to the Graceys in two different ways (by his mother Annabelle and his bride Emily) kind of muddies the waters a bit.

HOME TOWN: New Orleans, Louisiana

CURRENT HOME: The Haunted Mansion, in Disneyland Park.

PROFESSION: Mortal scarer and Disney icon (hatter in life). Member of the Ghost Council.

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE:

HAIR: Pale grey, long and dishevelled.

EYES: Black on yellowish white (they were almost the same in life, but dark brown rather than outright black).

NOSE: Large and slightly hooked in life, Hattie’s noise is now nothing but a memory.

FACE: Very angular.

LIPS: He basically doesn’t have any.

COMPLEXION: Used to be a pale grey until the Ghost Host decided to repaint him green for some reason. (In life, pale, but not sickly so)

SCARS: It’s tough to determine whether the cut on his neck can be called a scar, inasmuch as his head isn’t attached to his body at all and he just holds it in place thanks to spiritual energy most of the time.

HEIGHT: Refuses to be measured.

WEIGHT: Very light, but bathroom scales weren’t exactly common when he was alive, and determining a ghost’s mass is the same as trying to weigh a hologram.

BUILD: Thin and bony with a hunch.

FEATURES: Bony frame, skull-like head surrounded by messy hair, large round eyes and a grin bigger than a Cheshire Cat’s.

ALLERGIES: Constance Hatchaway.

USUAL HAIR STYLE: Dishevelled and long, hanging on both sides of his face.

USUAL CLOTHING: A black cape with so high a collar that it would make Dracula jealous, a dark grey vest with four circular buttons with a dark shirt underneath, tight grey pants and featureless leather shoes.

PSYCHOLOGY:

FEARS: Fears banishment, obviously. He also has an irrational fear of geese, for some inscrutable reason, but the case rarely presents itself. Like many spirits in the Mansion, Hattie would also freak out if he saw the One-Eyed Black Cat roaming free, but let’s be honest, who wouldn’t?

ASPIRATIONS: Kick Constance out of his Attic, reinstall his bride in her place, and become the Ghost Host.

POSITIVE TRAITS: Intelligent, talented, loyal, generous (when nobody’s looking).

NEGATIVE TRAITS: Grumpy, megalomaniac.

TEMPERAMENT: Prone to frequent mood-swings.

SOUL TYPE: The Hunter

VICE HABITS: Prone to overwork himself badly.

FAITH: Used to be a Christian, but (due to being so full of himself he literally couldn’t imagine being sent anywhere else than Heaven) his beliefs were thoroughly shattered by becoming a ghost.

GHOSTS: Well, what do you think.

AFTERLIFE: Obviously, denying the existence of a beyond when you’re undead yourself would be rather stupid. Though he’s not sure there’s anything else than becoming a ghost, contrary to some ghosts who think there is a Heaven that only a select few can reach, distinct from the ghosts’ fate.

REINCARNATION: Madame Leota dismisses the notion as superstition. Hattie may not like her very much, but when Necromancy is concerned, he’s not going to go against Leota’s expertise.

ALIENS: He doesn’t really understand the concept, much less has any clear opinion on the matter.

POLITICAL ALIGNMENT: He didn’t care for politics as a mortal. As a happy haunt, he sided with the Graceys during the War agains the One-Eyed Black Cat, in the 1950′s, but now would very much like to become the Ghost Host.

ECONOMIC PREFERENCES: Hattie would very much like to have a fortune in gold.

EDUCATION LEVEL: Hard to tell. Hattie knows a lot of things, but a lot of it is wrong and he’s too stubborn to change his mind about any of it. He mostly learnt them on his own.

FAMILY: 

FATHER: Gregorius Topper, a stern hatter who, in death, has become even more of a stickler for traditional ghosting than Hattie himself. And that’s saying something.

MOTHER: Annabelle Gracey, an aunt of the Ghost Host. Very sweet. Unfortunately does not appear to have become a ghost, though Hattie hasn’t lost hope that she’ll turn up one day.

SIBLINGS: He’s unfortunately stuck with his brother Ezra Topper, who loathed his father so much he changed his name to Beane and hitchhiked his way out of New-Orleans the day after Gregorius died.

EXTENDED FAMILY: Hattie is sometimes visited by his first cousin Reginald, alias the Mad Hatter. He is also related to all the Graceys, though the Graceys themselvs didn’t remember that until after leaving their corruptible mortal state; the Ghost Host is his first cousin, and Emily is actually his first cousin’s daughter.

FAVOURITES:

BOOK: His own autobiography (which is still in progress).

MOVIE: He never forgave cinematography on the whole for never devoting a movie to him, and has refused to see any film ever since, with the exception of Disney cartoons (the Imagineers celebrated the Mansion’s arrival by organizing a ghost-only screening of all Disney movies since Snow White for the Happy Haunts, and Hattie was talked into going by Emily).

DEITY: Frankly, Hattie would declare himself a deity if the Statue fo Spectral Secrecy didn’t prevent him from doing so.

HOLIDAY: He would have said Halloween, if not for the fact that since his return, he has to associate it with the Mansion being invaded by the Halloween Town crew and having to share the attic with a giant snake.

MONTH: May, due to being the date of his birthday and of his return to the Mansion in 2015.

SEASON: Autumn, probably. He never gave it much thought.

PLACE: Either his Attic or the Endless Staircases.

WEATHER: He likes the rain, as soon as he hears it drumming on his roof, rather than on his head.

SOUND: Emily’s voice.

SCENT: Roses, old leather, wax.

FEELS: Hugging Emily.

ANIMALS: He has a group of pet bats, whom he used to make little hats for. The hats had to be tight fits, lest they fall when his little friends hung upside down, so it was excellent practice.

NUMBER: What kind of an odd question is that?

COLOR: He��s most comfortable with brown or grey, but due to being “Emily’s color”, pure white has positive mental associations with him as well.

EXTRA:

TALENTS: Hat-making, mostly.

BAD AT: Dancing, unfortunately for Emily’s feet.

HOBBIES: Writing (he has been writing his own autobiography for decades, and he obviously has this very tumblr); lobbying to become the Ghost Host.

FC INFO:

VOICE CLAIMS: My own voicework on Hattie, mostly. The voice I use is a mix of French actor Roger Carel’s voice, and Scar’s voice in the Lion King musical. I know, it seems a bit random, but it fits oddly well.

MUN QUESTION:

Q1: If  you  could  write  your  character  your  way  in  their  own  movie ,   what  would  it  be  called ,  what  style  would  it  be  filmed  in ,  and  what  would  it  be  about ?  

A1: More than a single movie, I’d love a series of animated films based on the Haunted Mansion — not quite feature-length, but about 30 minutes-long each. I’d see no reason to call it anything else than The Haunted Mansion. The animation would be classical 2D animation, ideally based on @officialhappyhaunt and @whatwouldwaltdo’s drawing styles. They could progress from the backstories of various characters to the War of the One-Eyed Black Cat, Opening Day, the Hatbox Ghost’s banishment and finally to the ‘Present Day’ where all sorts of hijinx can take place.

Q2: What  would  the score  sound  like ?

A2: An orchestral soundtrack in the style of Phantom Manor, flirting between grand and moving pieces to jazzy, cartoonish one. There could obviously be songs. 

Q3: Why did you start writing this character?

A3: I absolutely loved @officialhappyhaunt ‘s Hatbox Ghost comics on DeviantArt. When I came to tumblr, I discovered that the existing Hatbox Ghost blog, @askthehatboxghost, while very good, used a completely different characterization from the grumpy old Hattie I’d come to love from these comics. So I started this blog.

Q4: What first attracted you to this character?

A4: Mostly his hilarious personality.

Q5: What is the main thing you dislike about your muse?

A5: I don’t really like the new color scheme Disney gave him in 2015.

Q6: What do you have in common with your muse?

A6: I share some of his artistic and culinary tastes (it’d be fairer to say I gave them to him) and a general dislike for change and modernization. 

Q7: How would your muse feel about you?

A7: Not sure, he’d probably be happy to see a dedicated fan in me, then move on to more interesting things, such as hats.

Q8: What character does your muse have interesting interactions with?

A8: Everyone. Of course, he’s at his funniest when trying to bother Constance, I think.

Q9: What gives you inspiration to write your muse?

A9: That’s… kind of redundant with Question 3, I think.

Q10: How long did this take you to complete?

A10: Oops, didn’t record my time. Long enough.

Named ‘All View’, a waterfront mansion in New Rochelle built for the Gilded Age fetched a record-breaking $16 million in an exchange earlier this month.

‘All View’ is a historic, 28 room estate home located on the Long Island Sound shore in the gated, Premium Point community of New Rochelle, in Westchester County, New York.

Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s International Realty announced the deal Nov. 27 for 116 Premium Point in New Rochelle, NY. The price, according to the announcement, marks a record for a property in the Mamaroneck School District.

The 3-acre property is at the end of a jut of land on the Long Island Sound near Echo Island. The home is known as All View for its vistas of the sound that extend to the New York City skyline.

The 23,000-square-foot estate was built in 1890, tied to recognizable names from the Gilded Age. The home was built for Charles Oliver Iselin, an American banker and yachtsman. Although real estate advertisements have listed the architect as Stanford White, the actual designer was Sidney Vanuxem Stratton, who maintained an office in the same building as White at McKim, Mead & White. Famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted originally designed the grounds.

Sales literature stated;

The kitchens boast high-end appliances: custom La Cornue and Viking ranges, two Gaggenau ovens, five refrigerators (three of which are Sub-Zero), three Miele dishwashers, and one Viking dishwasher. Historic extravagance melds seamlessly with modern aesthetic sensibilities – hand plastered vaulted ceilings, a diamond leaded gallery of windows, a gilded central staircase, two-story white marble columns, the finest materials including rare Onyx, and parquet floors finished in Oak, Grey French Wax and Ebony. The estate’s name comes from the breath-taking scenery that surrounds every inch of the property – panoramic views of Echo Bay and the Long Island Sound, stretching south to New York City and Connecticut in the north. Built in 1890, the original owner was Charles Oliver Iselin, an American banker and three-time America’s Cup winning yachtsman. Throughout the years the house has hosted numerous dignitaries and celebrities, and most recently endured a multi-year renovation through which it was lovingly and meticulously restored, bringing it back to its former glory, while advancing it technologically and sustainability into the 21st century, including a new 14-zone geothermal heat and air conditioning system. The end result is simply stunning! The grounds were originally conceived by the father of American landscape architecture and designer of Central Park, Frederick Law Olmsted, which today include a private beach, boat dock, badminton/mini-tennis/basketball court and a newly refurbished, 30′ x 60′ dark grey mosaic glass swimming pool with LED lit fountain jets and a built-in hot tub. There are also stone paved viewing terraces, two mahogany decks, a custom designed fire pit dining table for 16 with built-in banquette, mature growth trees, two wisteria-covered pergolas, a koi pond and a rose arbor. With such history, grandeur and convenient proximity to New York City (approximately 30 minutes), while still maintaining a feeling of the utmost privacy, All View is truly one of the most unique properties in the country – a rare find that will not be on the market for long.

El mapa ese está mal, por lo menos respecto a León. Esta de color verde claro cuando el nombre es Romano, proviene de la séptima legión. De legión se llegó a León (no tiene nada que ver con el animal que no sabría decirte de dónde viene el nombre del animal, la verdad).

Sí, una vez me fijé más con detalle en el mapa vi que había varios fallos, los dejo aquí abajo (pongo en los que me he fijado, no sé si hay más):

I’m gonna write it in English so everyone can see the mistakes in that map (at least the ones I found):

As you say, León comes from the Latin legio (the animal comes from the Greek λέον!)

Just as León, there’s no way that Salamanca’s name comes from Iberian, basically because there weren’t any Iberians there, only Celts, so, if the name is autochtonous, it must be Celtic.

Cádiz comes from the Phoenician Gadir, not from latin. 

Huelva’s ancient name, Onuba, was autochtonous, so it’s probably Tartessic or Turdetan. 

Although it’s generally accepted that Madrid comes from the Arabic Mayrit, there are evidences of a small Roman mansio in the area called Matritum. But that’s just nickpicking, until Arabic times it wasn’t even a town.

As @langsandlit pointed out, Valencia comes from the Roman Valentia, it’s the same name. It’s true there was a previous settlement in the area, but it was called Edeta, nothing to do with the modern name. I looked up what happened with Castellón, cause I don’t know anything about that, and it aparently has an Iberic origin, so that one’s correct.

I wasn’t really sure about the Roman origin for the Balearic Islands because of how many Punic and Greek contacts it had, so I looked it up, and it comes from Phoenician!

I also looked up La Rioja cause I wasn’t so sure about it having a Roman origin and yeah, it comes from Basque. 

Those were all I could see, but there could be more. It wasn’t a really accurate map after all lol.
