ANTONINI ITINERARIUM

antonini itinerarium, a valuable register, still extant, of the stations and distances along the various roads of the roman empire, seemingly based on official documents, which were probably those of the survey organized by julius caesar, and carried out under augustus. nothing is known with certainty as to the date or author. it is considered probable that the date of the original edition was the beginning of the 3rd century, while that which we possess is to be assigned to the time of diocletian. if the author or promoter of the work is one of the emperors, it is most likely to be antoninus caracalla. editions by wesseling, 1735, parthey and pindar, 1848. the portion relating to britain was published under the title _iter britanniarum_, with commentary by t. reynolds, 1799.
