If you're playing as the Romans and would rather have "Romanised" place names, you can always rename individual cities after conquering them, which would be quite realistic. To enable this, go into your preferences file and change "EDIT_SETTLEMENT_NAMES" from false to true. Alternatively you could just edit the text files to change as many city/province/faction names as you like. Just make sure you only change the names that appear on screen rather than the internal names!
Do Not Do This. There is one piece of code that we use extensively that uses the external name of settlement (crazy CA, we don't know why) changing the settlement names will make a lot of our traits defunct.
