Talk:Tabula Peutingeriana

message: "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)

:"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)

message: 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.

message: 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)

message: 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)

message: 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)
