ITINERARIUM (i.e. road-book, from Lat. iter, road)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 86 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
ITINERARIUM (i.e. road-book, from Lat. iter, road) , a
term
  applied to the extant descriptions of the ancient Roman roads and routes of
traffic
 , with the stations and distances. It is usual to distinguish two classes of these, Itineraria adnotata or scripta and Itineraria pittathe former having the character of a book, and the latter being a kind of travelling map. Of the Itineraria Scripta the most important are: (I) It. Antonini (see ANTONINI ITINERARIUM), which consists of two parts, the
one dealing with roads in Europe,
Asia
  and Africa, and the other with familiar sea-routesthe distances usually being measured from Rome; (2) It. Hierosolymitanum or Burdigalense, which belongs to the 4th century, and contains the route of a
pilgrimage
  from Bordeaux to Jerusalem and from
Heraclea
  by Rome to
Milan
  (ed. G. Parthey and M. Pinder, 1848, with the Itinerarium Antonini); (3) It. Alexandri, containing a sketch of the
march
 -route of Alexander the
Great
 , mainly derived from Arrian and prepared for Constantius's expedition in A.D. 340-345 against the Persians (ed. D. Volkmann, 1871). A collected edition of the 'ancient itineraria, with ten maps, was issued by Fortia d'Urban, Recueil des itineraires anciens (1845). Of the Itineraria Picta only one
great
  example has been preserved. This is the famous Tabula Peutingeriana, which, without attending to the shape or relative position of the countries, represents by straight lines and dots of various sizes the roads and towns of the whole Roman world (facsimile published by K. Miller, 1888; see also MAP).
