DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE PEUTINGER TABLE IS?

 Pars VIII of the Tabula Peutingeriana depicts the area of central-western Greece and part of the southern Balkan Peninsula, highlighting the city of Patras, an important commercial and strategic hub in antiquity. This section of the map focuses on Hellenic space and the routes that connected the Western and Eastern Roman worlds across the Adriatic and Aegean testifying to the vibrant circulation of people, goods, and cultures. Patras, a famous port in Achaea, appears as a hub of maritime trade to Italy, Asia Minor, and the eastern Mediterranean.

The map is densely populated with the names of cities, consular roads, post stations, and trade hubs, represented with stylized architectural symbols such as towers, walls, or temples, a sign of the historical and religious importance of many Greek cities. In addition to Patras, cities such as Corinth, Thessalonica, and Nicopolis stand out, demonstrating how Greece was still, in the Imperial Age, a crucial territory for Roman politics, economy, and culture. The stylized drawing of the seas and coastlines highlights the key maritime routes, which in this region played an equally strategic role as the land routes.

Pars VIII is a testament to the continuity between Greek civilization and the Roman domain, a document that depicts the Mediterranean as a unified and interconnected space. This section of the Tabula Peutingeriana reveals how ancient Greek roads and ports were vital in forging the political, military, and commercial ties that made Rome a vast and cosmopolitan empire.
