Road net of Imperial Rome

[Rodion Romanovich]

I've heard of many roman highways such as Via Traiana, Via Sacrum etc. mentioned in historical texts on Rome, but no map of where they actually were, or any good overview of how the road net of major highways looked. I'd be very happy if I could get hold of a map showing the most important roman highways that existed during the Imperial period. Has anyone got any idea of where/how I could find such a map?

Look for "Tabula Peutingeriana", the first source I found says "made by Nicolas Bergier in 1617", but now I´m not sure.

Ok, thanks, it's quite detailed. Too bad they used such a different shape, it's difficult to translate the regions. But when searching for Tabula Peutingeria I found this: http://www.romancoins.info/Tabula-Peutingeriana1.html and this: http://www.romancoins.info/Tabula-Peutingeriana.html, which are quite good, but takes some time to translate into a modern map .

Are the highways with numbers next to them, such as X, XII and so on, the most important highways, or how are the numbers to be interpreted?

But I've found no modern map yet... The Peutinger table seems to be the best source for a map.

Edit:
Here's a modern map, but it has no names on the highways and no cities placed, so it's still necessary to interpret it on your own.
