Just to get you started, a few difficult cases :

"etruria" is one name for a region in Italy, where once the Etruscans lived. In Greek and Latin texts called "Tyrrhenia". ("Etruria", Wikipedia)

"messana" is the old Roman name for Messina, Italy. ("Messina, Italy", Wikipedia)

"zama", considering the context is probably "Zama Minor", an archaeological site in northern Tunisia, and the site of the "Battle of Zama" between Carthage and Roman Republic that ended the Second Punic War" ("Zama Minor", Wikipedia)

"new carthage" is probably the old name for Cartagena, Spain. Named "Carthago Nova" by the Romans.("Cartagena, Spain", Wikipedia)

The others are too easy. Look them up!

That list is so long that it suggests to me that you have made no effort on your own. Go forth and google...or grab a set of books (encyclopedias) and look them up. I mean c'mon - you've got some of them on your list more than once... tsk, tsk
