Sassanids were Persians, and had the same cities. AFAIK, the Goths, Visigoths, Vandals, Huns, White Huns and Saxons were nomadic and never actually founded any cities. The Celts didn't have cities exactly, just small settlements called oppida. Their names aren't always known, because the Romans built Roman colonies over them. The only one I know of was Bibracte.

Well, not exactly the same. The capital (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ctesiphon), for instance, was different.

I made a Celtic city list as a part of my Improved City Lists (http://www.geocities.com/hubert_dunby/citylists.html). It might interest you:

That's not true! With the possible exception of the Huns, these peoples weren't nomads, although they did engage in migrations at various points in history. If you want to know about Saxon cities, for example, just look at a map of Saxony...

They had maybe no cities but had tons of towns, the amber road to the baltic is filled with ruins dating from that time. They just didn't have written languages Goths @ 350ad for example, ect... they had names, they were just not passed down to us, by the time most of them had written languages they were moving into Roman territories, taking their cities and abandoning their old lands.

These tribes didn't live on amber road. Only the Goths moved through these lands from Scandinavia to the territories of present Ukraine.

Vandals not at all, Goths only breifly passing through. A couple of cementaries here, no cities.

For Gaul at least one can get out a decent historical atlas and make a list the major towns.

And there weren't just oppida. Not exactly much to build an oppidum on in Lutetia/Paris or Burdigala/Bordeaux.;)

For the White Huns you can make a list of cities in Transoxiana/Turkestan eg Piandjikent (capital), Khotan, Balkh, Kocho and Karashahr.

For Berbers you should have no problem finding city names. Some major cities: Tilimsan, Takirwan, Agadez, Chinguetti, Sijilmassa, Tahert, Sitifis

for the sassanids, shahreevar has set you covered pretty well. But just to call some names off the top of my head, Ctesphion (later Baghdad) was the capital. Susa, Istakhr (later Shiraz), Takht-e Soleyman, Hamadan, Nineveh, Derbent, Ardashir-Khwarrah (AKA Gor AKA Firouzabad), Balkh, Bishapur, Nishapur, Yazd, Rhages (AKA Reyy), Spahan (later Isfahan), Tauris (Later Tabriz), Antioch, Dezbar, Herat, Erebuni (AKA Yerevan), Ohrmazd-Ardashir (later Ahvaz), Merv and Nihawand.

EDIT: the first four cities were probably the most important ones after Ctesphion, and the rest are in no particular order.
