Photograph and meaning of "itinerarium"

[edit]

Itinerarium comes from Antonine and Burdigalense itineraria (that's what the page correctly says), the meaning is route; they are purely linear listings. So I find the photograph of the page maybe not suitable: Peutinger Table is a (rough) map, 2-D, not a 1-D routes list like the other two ones. The first paragraph may be confusing, too. Public Domain Herbermann, Charles, ed. (1913). "Itineraria". Catholic Encyclopedia. New York: Robert Appleton Company. does not mention Peutinger. Jack ma (talk) 06:46, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. The photo of the Peutinger Table invites reader misinterpretation of the concept of an itinerarium. Justin.knoll (talk) 16:42, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lacks citations throughout

[edit]

Needs more on Zenodoxus, Theodotus and Polyclitus, in particular and the relationship between them and the Antonine Itinerary.
