With this ancient Roman route-planner you can
pretend that you are Hannibal planning a
journey from New Carthage to the very heart of
the Roman Empire.
The Itinerarium Romanum is a route planner
based on an ancient Roman map known as the
'Tabula Peutingeriana'. The route planner allows
you to plan a route that contains all the main
roads and cities of the Roman Empire.
To plan a trip enter locations into the 'ab' and
'ad' text boxes ('ab' and 'ad' are Latin for 'from'
and 'to'). You can get locations from the
Peutinger map or just use the auto-suggestions
that appear when you start typing in the text
boxes.
Once you submit your starting and end point
your planned route is displayed. The route will
show the towns and cites and also the river
crossings for your trip. It will also include a link
to view the route on Google Maps
