I'll let all you who don't speak Latin in on the joke in the campaign map:

It means, "Home Sweet Home" :)

If anyone's interested, some of the other cities' modern names are:

Mediolanum = Milan
Patavium = Pavia
Aretium = Arezzo
Moguntiacum = Mainz
Eburacum = York
Lugdunum = Lyons
Ariminium = Rimini

You can probably figure out Londinium for yourself ~:cheers:

Oops, I think Patavium is Padua, not Pavia.

Patavium doesn't have a modern equivalent, maybe Padova but I think not. You see Patavium the city and most of it's population was destroyed by Attila the Hun. When his bunch left the survivors of Patavium didn't rebuild it instead they moved closer to the coast and build a new city on a groups of islands and called it Venice.

Deva - Chester

Pity that Rome isn't named properly.
