Hello all,

A Dutch Historian had worked the last 6 months (in his free time) on a
digital version of the Tabula Peutingeriana, the Roman Roadmap.

OmnesViae.org offers a reconstruction of the Tabula Peutingeriana with
internet technology. The Tabula Peutingeriana is a medieval copy of a
Roman roadmap from about the year 300 CE.
This reconstruction is mainly based on research by Richard Talbert. The
places, connections and distances are mostly derived from data published
by Talbert (seehttp://cambridge.org/us/talbert/). To study the Tabula
Peutingeriana using OmnesViae, one needs to be aware of how this
reconstruction was made, how it works and how the underlying data
differs from Talberts dataset. http://omnesviae.org/reconstruction/ for
more information.

All 2760 places and roads between can be found at: http://omnesviae.org/
(topright corner for language selection).


Enjoy!
