There is Saguntum in Spain (the city sacked by Hannibal which led to the Roman declaration of war against Carthage in 218 B.C.), but I don't know if it has any connection with the -nth- or -nd- names found further east.

In the Adriatic the island of Issa was colonized by the Greeks (modern Vis). Two important naval battles took place near that island in the 19th century.

It's not unheard of to find a modern wreck stacked on an older wreck, which is on a still older wreck, with the bottom-most being ancient.
