Аннотация: In the paper I investigate how the cartographer, who created the famous Peutinger’s map (early centuries AD), denoted the Roman road system, which is one of the most striking cartographic elements on the map, and at the same time very detailed and branched. Coastal roads are of particular interest. In some cases, where such a land road could hardly exist due to landscape difficulties, one can assume the influence of periploi, which described the path of the ship along the coast with the indication of distances between seaside cities and settlements, sanctuaries, estuaries and mountains. I assume such a situation on the southern coast of the Black Sea (in modern Turkey), where the map (Segm. VII, 3 – IX, 3) shows the seaside road from the Bosporus Thracicus to Trapezus (modern Trabzon). Literary evidence, archaeological and epigraphic data, as well as geological features of the area raise doubts about the existence of a coastal road here. The distances indicated on the Peutinger map, as well as sometimes the mouths of the rivers, capes and sanctuaries, issued by the author of the map for the settlements of the road, in comparison with the periploi that mention them, make it possible to assume that the data of the periploi (or Roman itineraria maritima) were used when compiling the map. The same situation is possibly represented in the other region – in Asia Minor (Segm. IX, 1-2 m). A coastal road runs from the Ionian Miletus through Myndos, Knidos and Loryma to the Lycian city of Patara, which is impossible from a geographical point of view.The author discusses the possible reasons for using periploi as a source for building coastal roads and the possibility of using Roman itineraria maritima, which were similar in content and structure to Greek periploi (like Menippus’ periplus or Stadiasmus maris Magni).
