The Antonine Itinerary (Latin: Itinerarium Antonini Augusti, translates to 'The Itinerary of the Emperor Antoninus')
is one of the first route guides, a record of the forts/towns and distances between them along various roman highways.
Published by Antoninus Pius(Titus Fulvus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius) who was emperor from 138AD to
161AD, the son of Hadrian who was Emperor from 117AD-138AD.
This was probably a military guide for Generals so they could plan their routes, and estimate times to reach
remote locations in case of uprisings etc, and also for the Emperors to estimate where Generals were at any moment
in time.
These guides were possibly derived from a survey carried out under Emperor Octavian(14AD - 37AD) who was later
known as Augustus they describe the main roads of the Roman Empire.
The sections we are interested in are those from Iter Britanniarum(Britain).
These Guides are recorded as numerical routes.
