Modern settlement name
Hello everyone!
I've been searching these forums for a while now, but I didn't find a thread where the answer of my question was given.
I live in Belgium and in EB is a city called "Bratosporius" (or Bratosporios). I've been doing some research on the internet of what would be the modern name of this settlement, but I didn't find anything.
If someone could tell me, or give me a thread where the names are given, I'd be very thankfull.
greetings,

Looking here, there's a city called "Bratuspantium." The Wikipedia article for the Belgae says it's located between modern Amiens and Beauvais (and calls it a fortress).
I beat back their first attack with ease. Properly employed, E's can be very deadly, deadlier even than P's and Z's, though they're not as lethal as Paula Abdul or Right Said Fred.

It could be that the settlement doesn't correspond with any modern-day city? Not all ancient cities survived the ages, just a few. But of course, I can't tell you what's the case for Bratosporius. You'd have to wait for an expert to give an answer. At least with the map from the post above you know it's location.

Re: Modern settlement name
Hey, I'm a belgian guy too, not so active on the forums but hey, I lurk..
I've had a quick look and it seems that it is in modern day France. Estimating the position of it it would be somewhere near Beaucamps-le-Veux
The relative positions seem to match, but dont take my word on it.
