Ptolemais Theron location is unknown. But as it is in EB's map, I'd reckon it is around Massawa, in Eritrea.
BLARGH!
Vesoncio= Besançon
Darioritum= Vannes
"Les Cons ça ose tout, c'est même à ça qu'on les reconnait"
Kentoc'h Mervel Eget Bezañ Saotret - Death feels better than stain, motto of the Breton People. Emgann!
I got a few...or just one...
accord to the map I downloaded from the site,
Pantikapaion= Kerch
These ones seems close
Kart-Hadast = Banzart
Southend-on-sea (wierd name for a town) = Cassemorg
This one is obvius, but w/e
Jerusalem = Hierosolyma
and im too bored to find any more
Petra = Petra.
Rhodos = Rhodos.
Arbela = Arbela.
Ambrakia= Arta, Epeiros, Greece
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambracia
a new settlement took its place under the name of Arta. Some fragmentary walls of large, well-dressed blocks near this latter town indicate the early prosperity of Ambracia.

You like EB? Buy CA games.
Armavir= Armavir Armenia
Caern-Brigantae is Aldborough in northern England. The Romans called it Isurium Brigantum - see here. Under Roman rule it declined in status and the major city in northern Brittania became Eboracum (York). Aldborough is a very small village today, so you may be better having Bidborough, which is a small town about 1km away.
Persepolis is in modern-day Iran, although it is in ruins (it is a UNESCO World Heritige Site). The nearest major city is Shiraz, which is about 70km NE of Persepolis.
Gebai may well be Esfahan in Iran, since they geographically match up and Esfahan was the capital of a major province in the Parthian empire around the time EB is set (so Wikipedia says).
Segesta = Sestri Levante, Italy

I once enquired about Camulosadae as I live nearby and study there and was wondering why it was placed on the site of London rather than Colchester but the EB team told me that it was different settlement to the one the roman developed and called Camolodunum. IIRC however, they are named after a local god which might explain the similarity. (please don't shoot me if I'm wrong my memory ain't great.)
Also just out of interest, my mother brings word(she's welsh) that "Ynys-mon" is welsh and that the literal translation is "my island".

Do you find something funny with the name Biggus Dickus?
in the EB PBeM
Ptolemais Theron is near Aqiq.
This space intentionally left blank.
"Fortunate is every man who in purity and truth recognizes valiance and prevents it from becoming bravado" - Âriôbarzanes of the Sûrên-Pahlavân
Indeed, Camolodunum is a romanised version of Camulodunon, which was the Celtic name meaning "Fortress of Camulos". Camulos was a celtic war god, so there could well be many places beginning with "Camulo". See here for more.
Almost certainly though, Camulosadae is not Londinium (now London), since this was founded by the Romans in about 47 AD.
Maryab - Ma'rib, Yemen
Carna - Qarnaw(u)? Destroyed? in the Ramlat al-Sab`atayn desert, Yemen?
Tamane - Bayhan al Qisab, Yemen?
Sabata - Shabwa, Yemen?
Ubar - Iram? The lost city in the Rub' al Khali desert (Oman, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Yemen)
Gerrha - Near the ruins of fort Uqair, Saudi Arabia?
I have no idea where Homna lays.
Those Arabian cities are hard to find...
Arsé = Sagunt (cat.) / Sagunto

Tolosa = Toulouse.
I thought Armavir would be Yerewan?
Edit: Found Nikaia = Iznik

I don't know if it has been mentioned here already, but I just remembered something. Over a year ago, Teleklos released an add-on for Google Earth, that marked the locations of every city, wonder, etc over the Google Earth map. Search the forum and it might still be available for download. It could make this search really easy...
Tolosa= toulouse, France
Burdigala = Bordeaux, France
Yep, that add-on is still available here. And, might I add, it's pretty awesome. If I knew about this, I surely wouldn't have made that dumb mistake with Varna lol.
Bocchoris: ruins near Pollença (Mallorca). The land is still called Bóquer.
"Iustitia procurat pacem et iniuria bellum, humilia verba sunt nuntii pacis et superba, belli." (Ramon Llull)
Ani-Kamah = Ani
Which is east of Erzerum and Kars, on the modern Turkey-Armenia border.
It's beautiful btw, I highly recommend going there for vacation :)
Don't step in the minefields.
Taras = Taranto not Tarento

and i confirm Tingis as tanja: it happens to be were ibn-battutah is from as well.

Sadly there is one city or island of importance at that time that is missing in Eb. My homeland was an important economic centre at that time. First Phoenicians, than the Greeks and the Poeni there is a temple at a place called Marsaxlokk ( =the port on the southeast), it was called Portus Herculeum by the Romans, that is known as the Temple of Juno where this economic activity was at its peak, coins from all parts of the Mediterranean have been found. Known to the ancients as Melita and the island of Calypso, now are known as Malta and Gozo. ( I hope the are there in EB 2.)
Cheers.
