DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE PEUTINGER TABLE IS?

Pars XIII of the Peutinger Map extends into the eastern lands of the Roman Empire, depicting the region corresponding to today's southeastern Anatolia and northern Mesopotamia, where ancient Edessa, now Urfa, is located. In this section, the map demonstrates the crucial role of this area as a strategic bridge between the Roman world and the eastern kingdoms, including the Parthian Empire and, later, the Sassanid Empire. Edessa appears as a key hub for trade, diplomacy, and military movements along the routes to Persia and the farthest East.

Beyond Edessa, locations such as Nisibis, Carrhae (Harran), and other border cities emerge, where clashes between Rome and eastern powers often occured. Rivers, such as the Tigris and Euphrates, are drawn with sinuous lines, evoking the presence of natural borders that have always marked the region's geopolitics.

Pars XIII witnesses the Roman East's function as a living frontier, a theater of intense exchanges but also of conflict. It is not merely a geographical map, but an extraordinary document of the region's political and cultural complexity, where different religions, languages, and cultures met. This section of the Tabula Peutingeriana offers a fascinating glimpse into a borderland, a crossroads of trade routes and civilizations, which played a fundamental role in imperial history.
