DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE PEUTINGER TABLE IS?

Pars XIV of the Tabula Peutingeriana, known as Segment XII, takes us beyond the borders of the Roman Empire to the distant lands of ancient India. This section of the map is a rare and valuable cartographic document that reveals how the Romans perceived the Indian subcontinent, an exotic and mysterious territory at the very edge of their known world. The trade routes connecting India to the West, primarily through seaports and overland routes, are carefully highlighted, underscoring the importance of these exchanges for the imperial economy.

The segment shows key cities and regions of ancient India, albeit often schematically and symbolically, with names transcribed in Latin that reflect information gained from Roman travelers, merchants, and geographers. Among these, strategic coastal ports and inland cities can be identified, as well as key hubs for the distribution of goods such as spices, textiles, precious stones, and agricultural products. The map, therefore, also represents the network of cultural and commercial influences that linked Rome to India.

Furthermore, Pars XIV witnesses the fascination and mythical aura that India held in the Roman imagination: a land of incredible riches and diverse cultures, seen from afar but deeply desired. This section of the Tabula Peutingeriana represents a symbolic bridge between West and East, telling the story of ancient relationships and exchanges that shaped the ancient world. An extraordinary document for those who wish to explore the complex interactions between empires and civilizations.
