Abstract

The Tabula Peutingeriana is considered to be a benchmark for the representation of the Roman Empire and is used in numerous publications and communications as visual medium from Antiquity. Nevertheless, like any ancient map, it is a witness to the past that deserves to be analysed with precision according to specific criteria (historical and geographical). The aim of this article is therefore to analyse the map itself. Secondly, in order to assess the relevance of its modernisation in the second half of the 20th century, we carried out a study of the adjustment map by the French geographer and historian Ernest Desjardins in the late 1960s. Their respective analyses were carried out historically and geographically before being compared according to the
rules of the discipline of historical geography.
