Frontiers of <strong>the</strong> Roman Empire – Ripa Pannonica in Hungary (RPH) Nomination statement<br />

APPENDIX<br />

The Ripa Pannonica in Historic Sources and Old Maps<br />

Zs. Visy<br />

The earliest depictions of <strong>the</strong> Ripa Pannonica are from antiquity. On one page of <strong>the</strong> Tabula Peutingeriana,<br />

<strong>the</strong> only map from antiquity that has survived – in <strong>the</strong> form of a Byzantine copy – to this day, <strong>the</strong><br />

fortifications of <strong>the</strong> Pannonian limes along <strong>the</strong> <strong>Danube</strong> can be seen. The place names with data on<br />

distances, along with <strong>the</strong> Itenerariaum Antonini and o<strong>the</strong>r epigraphic sources, have contributed a great<br />

deal to <strong>the</strong> determination of <strong>the</strong> names of <strong>the</strong> limes fortifications.<br />
