Peutinger Map

Medieval copy of a Roman road map (itinerarium), or diagram of road routes, originally made in the latter half of the 4th century AD (National Library, Vienna). The map covers the Roman Empire from Spain and Britain in the west to India in the east. Although it is largely incomplete, the British portion of the map is important as the earliest known map of Roman Britain.

The map was in the library of the German scholar Conrad Peutinger of Augsburg, when he died 1547. It is thought that the map was brought to Europe from a monastery in Jerusalem, and that it was copied from the original, with later additions, in the 13th century.
