"There is some question whether the Peutinger Table should be called a map, as it makes no attempt to represent real landforms." This is tantamount to "The Peutinger Table does not satisfy modern conceptions of a map". I'll just make the substitution. --Wetman 23:50, 29 April 2006 (UTC) I reverted the categorization, since Historical maps is an empty cat replaced by history maps, which is intended for maps of the history of. These kind of maps beling in the cat Old maps. Electionworld Talk? 17:39, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why would there be any thought that it is not a map. The Hereford Mappa Mundi is in the same category. Yes it doesn't look like our maps. But it displays milage from cities and towns. With town names, featured places, like the light-house of Alexandria. The Catographer had to show every known city and road in the known world, and make it readable, how else could he have done it. Think of it as a scroll.--Gmonte1 16:35, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Compression

The following was anonymously addressed to my Talkpage, by User:Euratlas:

"Longitude is the East-West geographic coordinate measurement and latitude is the North-South. Do you agree?

'On the Peutingerian map, from North to South, for instance from the latitude of Dubris (Dover) to the latitude of Rusucurru (Dellys or Tigzirt, North Africa) the distance is about 19 centimeters. West-East, from the longitude of Gerunda (Girona) to the longitude of Muziris (Cranganore = Kodungallur, India) the distance is about 670 centimeters. So, I would say the the North-South distances are compressed.

A glance at the illustration at the article Tabula Peutingeriana compared to the familiar map dimensions of Southern Italy seems to how that, with North to the left, it is the longitude that is compressed. If I'm misinformed, do let's have the article correct.--Wetman 19:34, 15 August 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Johannes Moretus/Jean Moret

Isn't Jean Moret the same person as Johannes Moretus? Shouldn't that be indicated? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.168.216.243 (talk) 00:35, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done.Shsilver 14:29, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

POV

Teh section that decsribes the map has a POV paragraph in which there is a discussion of what makes up a map which is clearly based on the author's own conception of what a map must include. The same points of what the Tabula Peutingeriana contains and doesn't contain can be made without those referents and in an impartial manner consistent with how the map would have been used and viewed at the time of its creation. Shsilver 14:27, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am currently in the final process of providing a major edit to this page, a project which has been undertaken in part to satisfy the requirements of a graduate seminar in which the TP was researched. The edit will include a discussion of the existence of archetypal documents and sources for the TP, a longer discussion of the TP's dubious status as a 'map', and will incorporate the more recent studies of Talbert 2004 & Salway 2005. I hope to have the edit complete within a few days or so of this entry.--SLundy (talk) 20:41, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment removed

I removed this comment which is irrelevant to a non-modern map and which had caused a NPOV tag to be placed: "The Peutinger Table does not satisfy modern conceptions of a map: longitude, which can only be calculated with an accurate clock, is highly compressed in comparison with latitude." --mervyn (talk) 08:45, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Levi and Levi

"The prominence of Ravenna, seat of the Western Empire from 402, indicated a fifth-century revision to Levi and Levi." -- suggest this be reworded as it occurs without any explanation of who Levi and Levi are. 91.46.152.211 (talk) 08:49, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Three Great Cities

Can someone please add details for what the three great cities on the map (which were given unique icons) described were? I can make out Rome and Constantinople, but the third is hard to read and google isn't throwing up any kind of concept of there existing three great cities in that period. 86.0.252.207 (talk) 10:53, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect date

The introduction reported that "The scholar Konrad Peutinger reconstructed its British and Iberian section in 1898." Konrad Reutinger died in 1547. I have deleted the date - does anyone have correct info to replace this information with? {[subst:unsigned|The mountain king|18 May 2015}}

Map image changed by update

An update to the map image in Wikipedia commons to a higher-resolution version also changed it from an image with the Iberia/Britannia reconstruction to one without it. Perhaps both versions should be included? At the very least the caption is now inaccurate. 67.183.216.4 (talk) 10:42, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

0.35 metres thick

Right. Originally it said "high" but someone changed it to "thick" which of course is silly. I changed it back. Zero^talk 04:29, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
