Connecting the Ancient World: Pleiades and Itiner-e by Tom Elliott — last modified 12/17/2025 10:35 AM
Two free digital resources—Pleiades, ISAW's gazetteer of ancient places, and Itiner-e, a newly launched atlas of Roman roads—are closely interlinked. Itiner-e uses Pleiades data to enrich and contextualize the road maps on their website, while Pleiades' uses Itiner-e's data to help its users discover Roman roads close to ancient places of interest. This is digital humanities at its finest: creating richer, more interconnected tools for exploring the ancient world.
