Ancient City Names

Description
Have you noticed it too, there are some modern names in Emperor Edition

Please Help: There is a city named Melgunov, I can't find anything about it. If anyone knows where they got it from please tell me.
Grinev too, no information to be found, seems to be a Russian politician, just like Melgunov.
Oblin is a modern village in Poland, but I can't seem to find any good names

If you have seen anything I missed, feel free to comment.

Changes:
Bavay = Bagacum; I don't know why they made this Bavay, since it was really called Bagacum back then.
Vesonto = Vesontio; Typo, no modern name, but I couldn't ignore it.
Sleaford = Arae Corieltauvorum; Yes this is the latin name of another city and it may be too early but Sleaford is an Anglo-Saxon name that shouldn't be here. And I think Arae was more important. In location it can be.
Stanwick = Eborakon; Same as above, anglo-saxon
Kelheim = Alcimoennis; This one was a fail, it didn't take long until I found this was the original name. No offence CA, but if you couldn't find this, you can't have spend much time in making this.
Pelplin = Gothiscanza; Alright, this was a hard one, Gothiscanza was mostly legendary and there is no old name
known for Pelplin, but the stories overlapped eachother
Singidun = Singidunum, Roman name
Merv = Alexandreia Margiana, other name, less dull
Ibossim = Ebesus, roman city on the baelares
Melgunov = Melgunov; For now, I can't find anything.

Perhaps the developers admired him :D @Thomahawk2k

Hello, could you please update your mod to work with the latest patch? Thank you

And yeah, Stanwick. Eborakon is already on the map so it's better to rename Stanwick to Rigodunum. It's a fort/colony that was never discovered but likely stood somewhere around that area.

Also Pelplin = Mentonomon according to Pytheas of Massalia.

Creative Assembly's 'Melgunov' is not even a settlement, it's a bloody burial mound near modern Ukrainian city of Kropyvnytskyi. Melgunov is the surname of a Russian guy who excavated it. In Russian it's called 'Мельгуновский курган' ('the barrow of Melgunov') and in Ukrainian 'литий курган' ('the casting barrow') or 'лита могила' ('the grave of the castings'). This reminds me of Civilization VI where Scythian settlements bear modern archaeological names like 'Pokrovka'.

Melgunov was caled Litoi

It seems you replacing "Pelplin" with Gothiscanza hit the mark. CA copied your decision and included in Total War: Attila the same settlement under the much better name you came up with!

Sleaford... Lindum (Britannia)
Ibossim... Ebussus (Hispania)

The others names, I think are allright (sorry about my "poor english")

Vesontio... ¿Besançon? (France)

Thank you. Those Anglo-Saxon placenames in 40-BC-Britain made me suffer. Plus, Vanilla also calls Mediolanum "Mediolanium", with a spare "i". Will you fix it, too?
