EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Peutinger table, a remarkable representation of Roman ways in Egypt and Turkey. Created by an unknown artist in the 13th century, this road map is based on a map of the Roman Empire from the 3rd century. Housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, it offers a fascinating glimpse into ancient communication and urban planning. The intricate details captured in this photograph highlight the engineering marvels of these ancient roads that connected various regions within Africa, North Africa, Egypt, and Turkey. It serves as a testament to the advanced construction techniques employed during that era. As we examine this piece closely, we can observe how these roads were strategically designed to facilitate trade and travel across vast territories. The fusion of African and Turkish influences is evident throughout this antique Rome-inspired map. Beyond its historical significance, this image also invites us to contemplate how civilizations have evolved over time. It prompts us to reflect on our own modern-day road networks and appreciate their roots traced back centuries ago. Whether you are an enthusiast of antiquity or simply intrigued by maps as works of art, this print captures both beauty and functionality. Its timeless appeal transcends borders and cultures while reminding us of humanity's ceaseless pursuit for progress through infrastructure development.
