Summary
The database provides an entry, with brief commentary, for every name and for every feature except those mountain ranges which the map does not name. An illustration of the relevant part of the map in color heads each entry. For the entire map as a seamless whole, see Map A. The scope of the commentary is explained in the Introduction.
Where a better reading can be gained from the monochrome photographs taken in 1888, an illustration from these is included; for the complete set of these photographs, see Map B (i). In addition, occasional reference is made to the set of color photographs published by Weber (1976).
The rivers on the Peutinger map are outlined on a Barrington Atlas base in Map C (however, no farther east than the Euphrates and Tigris). The routes on the map are outlined similarly in Map D (however, no farther east than Maps 87 and 89). For guidance, see Appendix 9.
The database indexes names and features in multiple ways: see the Database Contents.
Feature Type
For the full range, see the listing in the Database Contents.
Symbol Type
For the full range, see Symbol Classification in the Database Contents, together with Chapter 3, section 4 (c) for discussion.
Grid
Grid figures have three components: the number of a map segment (1–11), followed by the numbers of a square within it determined vertically (A,B,C) and horizontally (1,2,3,4,5).
