This
is a fragment of the most antique road map in existence,
Peutinger's Tabula. More precisely, it is the XII century copy
of a Roman road map. The incredible thing is that it is the
only antique map that can be compared with a 21st century road
map.
Our idea was to utilise the same map that the Roman legions used
to retrace the steps along the same roads that today we use
constantly.
During
your cybernetic navigation you can see the same things that
the Roman legionnaires saw 2000 years ago.
Peutinger's
Tabula was originally a long parchment map 6.80 metres by 34
centimetres. During the 19th century the map was divided into
11 segments for preservation purposes plus one segment reconstructed in
1916 because the original was lost.
