Books About the Tabula Peutingeriana

[المشرف العام]

I’ve blogged about*the*Tabula Peutingeriana before.*It was a medieval copy of a fourth- or fifth-century map of the Roman road network. Combined, its 11 sheets form a scroll*6.82 metres*long and only 34 centimetres wide, with territories elongated*beyond modern recognition; it*was basically the classical period’s equivalent of a TripTik or Beck network map.*The sole remaining copy is held by the National Library of Austria: it’s too fragile to put on display, though an exception was made for a single day in*2007.

Anyway. During my online meanderings today I stumbled across two*academic books about the*Tabula that I was previously unaware of:*The Medieval Peutinger Map:*Imperial Roman Revival in a German Empire by Emily Albu (2014) and*Rome’s World:*The Peutinger Map Reconsidered by Richard J. A. Talbert (2010).*Both from Cambridge University Press, neither cheap.
