  Romans
The Antonine Itineraries are written descriptions of the empire's major roads, including fifteen routes in Britain.
Itinerary II starts North of Hadrian's Wall on the west coast at a Fort called Blatobulgium, on the A74 about halfway between Gretna and Lockerbie.
Itinerary V starts at London and takes in Chelmsford and Norwich before doubling back to Cambridge with Durobrivas or Water Newton the first town on the Great North Road that is listed.

Itineraria (itineraries) were maps or lists of stations along roads, giving the distances between stations and other useful information.
Itineraries probably existed from an early date, but none survive from before the 1st century.
Itineraries were in use from the late Roman to medieval period giving routes to the Holy Land for Christian pilgrims.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2000.06.18
In the interior, the apparent confusion in the lists of cities ("un beau désordre" in Louis Robert's dismissive phrase) is explained nicely by Descat's suggestion that the itineraries are organized with respect to the conventus of Alabanda and the relation of the cities not to a linear itinerary but to the seat of the conventus.
Jean-Pierre Bost's contribution is an essay on the network of roads crossing Aquitaine, with particular attention to the Peutinger Table, the Antonine Itinerary, and the Bordeaux Itinerary.
In discussing some of the mistakes made by the Antonine Itinerary Bost proceeds as if one has to imagine a traveler at the crossroads sometimes choosing illogically a backroute and then awkwardly integrating it into his description of a major route.

 An Agent-Based Exploration of the Antonine Itineraries   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Mapping the Itineraries is not the same as mapping the Roman road network, for there were far more roads and towns than are listed on the Itineraries.
The various Antonine Itineraries have been 'stretched' across the map, so that the listed towns are pinned to their correct geographic location.
By representing the itineraries with thick lines, a certain degree of randomness in terms of exact route progression is allowed (watch carefully, and you will sometimes see agents pass each other but not interact).

The Roman name for Caernarfon is recorded in the Antonine Itinerary of the second-century AD as Segontio, and is placed 24 Roman miles from Canovium at the starting-point of the route from Caernarfon to Deva (Chester, Cheshire).
Plan of the fort at Canovium The first fort was built of timber in the late first century and some interior buildings were replaced in stone in the early second century.
The Antonine Itinerary was a list of routes and posting-stations used by the Roman army of the late-second century, the British section of this document has fifteen such itineraries, and the Caerhun fort is included in 'Itinerary Eleven - The route from Segontium to Deva'.

 NIDVM
The Roman name for the fort and probable harbour ar Neath appears only in the Antonine Itinerary of the mid-2nd century.
Although the presence of a Roman garrison fort at Neath had always been known from historical itineraries and various Romano-British finds from the local area, the actual position of the fort was not known until 1949, when the foundations of Roman military buildings were uncovered during initial clearance operations for a new housing estate.
There is no evidence of military occupation after the Antonine period, and it appears that the fort was abandoned by the late-2nd century, although the inclusion of Nido in the Antonine Itinerary suggest that the site retained some form of civilian occupation until perhaps the early-3rd.

 Article: Roman Roads East of the Jordan (by David F. Graf)
These gaps and the nature of the Antonine Itinerary as an official military document excludes it from consideration as a primary source for the Madaba Map.
The conflation of his itinerary with these diverse sources suggests that a road map is only a secondary source on which other sources have been imposed (cf.
For example, the itineraries preserved in Theodosius' Topography of the Holy Land produced probably in the reign of Anastasius (A.D. 491-518) mention Livias east of the Jordan, as well as Madaba, Philadelphia, Gerasa, Bostra, Gadara, Abila and Capitolias in Arabia (145147 = Wilkinson 1977: 6970).

 Roman Britain - The Roads   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Roman roads in Britain have received a lot of attention - possibly because the survival of the Antonine Itineraries served as a focus for early antiquarians and later archaeologists, but also because the road network was so extensive that virtually every local archaeological society has a piece of Roman road in their patch.
The roads however served essentially as strategic lines of communication and a facility for the rapid movement of the Roman army.
Margary's last revision of this work was published in 1973 and so there remains twenty five years' worth of further evidence and research to be collated into a new and comprehensive review of the subject.

The edition of the Itinerary from which I shall quote is that of Wesseling; of the Table that of Desjardins.
At the time when the Itinerary of Antonine was compiled most of the chief Gallic towns had two names, - the old Gallic name and the name of the tribe in whose territory the town was situated.
Four vases, on each of which an itinerary is inscribed, have been discovered at Bagni di Vicarello: three of them place Ocelum at 20 Roman miles from Turin, and two of them at the same distance from Susa.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2004.12.23
The parade of fresh knowledge displayed in triumphal processions at Rome is identified as a favored setting and organizing principle for Pliny's absorption of the novel and unfamiliar.
Murphy is right to be struck (129) by the enumeration in the table of contents (Bk 1) of the total numbers of towns, races, rivers, mountains etc that Pliny's readers will find recorded in each of the geographical books (3-6).
Murphy's larger vision of the Natural History as "like an ancient map of the world" with Rome as its center (20) is especially exhilarating, although for us the cartographic image which it recalls cannot be the lost map of Agrippa (157), but surely can be the later, unmentioned Peutinger Map.

The geographical form and content of the Hereford map is derived from the writings of Pliny, Solinus, Augustine, Strabo, Jerome, the Antonine Itinerary, St. Isidore, and Orosius.
Italy is merely a bulge between the Mediterranean and the Adriatic; the Alps are fairly accurate, with towns in the area being chiefly derived from the Antonine Itinerary.
Additional non-Biblical sources, some previously mentioned, include excerpts from Pliny and the Antonine Itinerary, from Orosius and Martianus Capella, from Solinus and the Aethici, from the Alexander Romance, and from certain Bestiaries and Herbaria.

The Arch of Constantine, the highly photogenic memorial next to the Colosseum, was erected by the Senate in A.D. 315 to honor Constantine's defeat of the pagan Maxentius (in 306).
Many of the reliefs have nothing whatsoever to do with Constantine or his works, but they tell of the victories of earlier Antonine rulers (they were apparently lifted from other, long-forgotten memorials).
Historically, the arch marks a period of great change in the history of Rome and thus the history of the world.

Britannia was first published in May 1586 to widespread acclaim, with three further editions within four years; a fourth edition came out in 1594.
Camden died in 1623 and was buried at Westminster Abbey, but the Britannia continued in its popularity for the next two centuries, with new editions translated into English and with substantial additions.
Edmund Gibson's 1695 edition of Britannia with English text, includes Timothy Pont's description of the Antonine Wall (through Robert Sibbald), and in 1789 the antiquarian Richard Gough was to issue a three-volume edition with even greater additions.

 Pithom - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
Champollion (Gesenius, Lexicon, under the word) considered this name to mean "a narrow place" in Coptic, but it is generally explained to be the Egyptian Pa-tum, or "city of the setting sun." It was one of the cities built by the Hebrews (see RAAMSES), and according to Wessel was the Thoum of the Antonine Itinerary.
Brugsch (History of Egypt, 1879, II, 343) says that it was identical with "Heracleopolis Parva, the capital of the Sethroitic nome in the age of the Greeks and Romans....
half-way on the great road from Pelusium to Tanis (Zoan), and this indication given on the authority of the itineraries furnishes the sole means of fixing its position." This is, however, disputed.
