Resumen de Von der Herrscherresidenz in die Provinz: konstruktionen städtischer und ländlicher Räume auf der Tabula Peutingeriana .
The aim of this paper is to try to understand the intentions, perhaps even a specific worldview, of the scribes and cartographers based onthe cartographic drawing of the largest and most important settlements andon the account of ethnonyms and roads. Two sets of questions are centralto this work:– How are the cities represented on the Tabula Peutingeriana? Are they actually represented according to their meaning?– Is it possible to distinguish cities from rural areas? Is it possible to identify different modes of representation in the drawings? What is the significance of scarcely populated regions compared to urban centres in the TabulaPeutingeriana?These questions will be addressed by examining selected geographical areas(e.g. Egypt, Persia, Media, Germany and the North-Pontica-Caspian area).
