Interesting to see the place names still easily recognisable as major cities today. The part of the world where I live (Eastern coast of Spain) is reflected in the second column: Valencia, Sagunto (now a relatively minor town, known for its regasification plant and industrial estate), Tarragona, Girona... But no mention of Barcino in between, an insignificant Roman settlement that became modern-day Barcelona.
