  Tabula Peutingeriana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tabula Peutingeriana (Peutinger table) is an itinerarium showing the cursus publicus, the road network in the Roman Empire.
The Tabula Peutingeriana is the sole surviving copy of the Roman cursus publicus; it was made by a monk in Colmar in the thirteenth century.
It is a parchment scroll, 0.34 m high and 6.75 m long, assembled from eleven sections, a medieval reproduction of the original scroll.

Danach blieb die Tabula wieder unbeachtet, bis sie 1720 auf Umwegen an Prinz Eugen von Savoyen und nach dessen Tod 1736 mit seiner gesamten Bibliothek in die Kaiserliche Hofbibliothek zu Wien gelangte.
Den Namen Tabula Peutingeriana erhielt die Straßenkarte zum ersten Mal in der gedruckten Ausgabe von Peter Bertius (Leiden, 1618/19).
dementsprechend auch eine Mappa mundi in duobus rotulis bezeugt ist, was der Tabula mit den ehemals 12 Segmenten entsprechen würde.

It is important to underline that the starting point of a Roman road (some kind of “mile zero”), from which distances were counted, was always the crossing between Cardo and Decumanum, the two basic streets in every Roman town, running north-south and east-west, respectively.
In a section of the Tabula Peutingeriana, an ancient document showing the network of Roman roads, a river in north-eastern Italy labeled “fl.
The final proof came only in 1991, when three Italian scholars (Pignotti, Ravagli and Donati), after a comparison between Tabula Peutingeriana and other ancient sources (including Cicero), showed that the distance running from Rome to Rubicon river was 200 miles.

 J.F.Ptak Books, Maps, and Prints - Peutinger Table
At the turn of the 5th-6th centuries the world ocean was added and improvements were made to the seas; at about the same time, the influence of this map appears in a work by an anonymous cosmographer of Ravenna (Slide #203), who made use of some new material recently added to his source.
Since the Ravenna cosmographer names a certain Castorius as the author of his source in connection with material also found in the Tabula Peutingeriana, it is to be inferred that this was the maker's name for the original.
The overall form of the Colmar edition, which is the basic form of the Tabula as it has reached us today, must have been fixed at this period, about A.D. 500; although a few local corrections were made subsequently, for example, in the 8th and 9th centuries.

 Peutinger Konrad - LoveToKnow 1911
In 1497 he was town clerk of his native place, and was on intimate terms with the emperor Maximilian.
He was one of the first to publish Roman inscriptions, and his name remains associated with the famous Tabula peutingeriana (see MAP), a map of the military roads of the western Roman Empire, which was discovered by Konrad Celtes, who handed it over to Peutinger for publication.
The Tabula peutingeriana was first published as a whole by F. de Scheyb (1753); later editions by E. Desjardins (1869-1874) and C. Miller (1888); see also E. Paulus, Erklarung der Peutinger Tafel (1867); and Teuffel-Schwabe, Hist.

 Austria - Tabula Peutingeriana: UNESCO-CI
The Tabula Peutingeriana is the unique preserved map of the road system for the cursus publicus, the public transport system in use in the Roman Empire.
The aim of the Tabula was not the depiction of the regions concerned as a geographical map, but to show the structure and network of the cursus publicus.
This explains the missing depiction of the sea and the orientation of the map West — East and is a parallel to actual diagrams used in the trains of the underground in European cities.

The Peutinger Table (Tabula Peutingeriana) is a chart representing the known world in Roman times.
It is believed that the Tabula, now housed in the national library at Vienna, is a copy of yet an older one whose first fragment, which should show the west side of Spain, was already missing.
The fact that the Tabula shows both Christian and pagan temples seems particularly significant as regards the origins of the map.
