Every once in a while, I'm reminded of the extent to which we are still all wandering around in the broken remains of Roman civilization. I was looking at some interesting engineering that included a few very old dams in Spain -- really old: the Romans built them. Several are in what is now the Zaragoza region -- which (according to a machine translation) the builders knew as the settlement of Ceasaraugusta.
Put that way, it's pretty obvious where the modern name came from -- as obvious as the remains of an ancient dam.
