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 .
