In the introduction to his Comparative Grammar he states, (2) that in the Indian segment of Roman maps called the Peutinger Table the portion of India to which this name is applied is called Damirike, and that we can scarcely err in identifying this name with the Tamil country, since Damririke evidently means -Damirike.

‘Peutinger’s’ map, as it is called — with its extraordinary 22 x 1 ft shape — survives as a priceless, yet isolated, curiosity, and treasured possession of Austria’s National Library, Vienna.
My aim is to rescue the map from this barren, unmerited predicament, to read it afresh more critically with the support of up-to-date scholarship and technology, and to put forward answers to fundamental new questions about its design, purpose, and impact.
Above all, Peutinger’s map is no longer consigned to limbo, but at last acquires a political, and even physical, context in the cultural mainstream.

 History of Strip Maps
It is apparent to anyone who views any or all of the Peutinger Table that there is a great deal of cartographic license taken and this may or may not be a result of the strip format employed.
Although strips map may not have been the only or even the dominant format employed by cartographers in ancient times, the Peutinger Table shows that the strip format was employed in certain circumstances.
