Summary

Map A presents the Peutinger map as a seamless whole, full size, in color. Its eleven segments, photographed in 2000, are rejoined as precisely as the parchment sheets' various small imperfections permit. The grids shown for reference are ones overlaid in the first instance on each segment individually. Hence, as is plainly visible, their horizontal divisions do not invariably quite match.

This display of the map permits a viewer to pan the map view (move up/down, left/right) and zoom in and out. For reference and study, a number of thematic layers are overlaid on the map. These may be turned “on” and “off” at will. Detailed instructions for users are included in the map application itself.

Layers

N.B.: Where there are different strengths or shades of color to be found for a feature on the map (e.g., red for route line work, red fill for mountains), there is no attempt to reproduce the variations in these layers.
