That's not surprising, I think, as Webster's ideas place the battle around there, so the area's had undue attention. But beyond a few prospective locations, nothing's been found that might suggest that region is more likely than several others.

I meant the Ravenna; everything I've read about it says the list is corrupt, and it's not hard to see why.
I believe you have links to the romaneranames site, John, so I'm hesitant about criticism, but that particular etymology (and several others on the site) isn't supported anywhere else and seems dubious. Coming up with an idea like that is one thing, but suggesting it's a known hypothesis, rather than a personal theory, while dismissing more accepted definitions without explanation, seems unhelpful.

Sure, I don't see why not - but, as I say, I don't think there's much else down that particular route!
