A new high resolution digital dataset and map — named Itiner-e — of roads throughout the Roman Empire around the year 150 CE is presented in research published in Scientific Data. The findings increase the known length of the Empire’s road system by over 100,000 kilometres. 🏺 🧪
Itiner-e: A high-resolution dataset of roads of the Roman Empire - Scientific Data
The Roman Empire’s road system was critical for structuring the movement of people, goods and ideas, and sustaining imperial control. Yet, it remains incompletely mapped and poorly integrated across sources despite centuries of research. We present Itiner-e, the most detailed and comprehensive open digital dataset of roads in the entire Roman Empire. It was created by identifying roads from archaeological and historical sources, locating them using modern and historical topographic maps and remote sensing, and digitising them with road segment-level metadata and certainty categories. The dataset nearly doubles the known length of Roman roads through increased coverage and spatial precision, and reveals that the location of only 2.737% are known with certainty. This resource is transformative for understanding how mobility shaped connectivity, administration, and even disease transmission in the ancient world, and for studies of the millennia-long development of terrestrial mobility in the region.

Knowing that I read pages written by many hands, free contributions constantly debated and edited, plays a huge role in putting me in a good mood when I check something in Wikipedia... Wikipedia puts me in a good mood many times per day in fact.

Avec sa stratégie indopacifique, la 🇫🇷 se positionne comme un acteur résolument engagé dans la région, et l'Asie-Pacifique constitue un enjeu majeur sur les questions stratégiques, éco et culturelles.
