A High-Resolution Dataset of Roads of the Roman Empire: Itiner-e static version 2024

This dataset represents the 2024 canonical version of the Itiner-e dataset, described in the publication de Soto et al. (submitted). A growing version is hosted at https://itiner-e.org. Itiner-e is the first comprehensive, detailed and spatially detailed digital dataset of the roads of the Roman Empire (ca. 300 BCE-300 CE). It has been created by (1) identifying roads based on existing scholarship including atlases, regional summary publications, survey reports, excavation reports, gazetteers and milestones; (2) localizing roads using modern and historical topographic maps, and aerial and satellite photography; (3) digitizing roads and their metadata, and cleaning the data. The principal contributing institutions are Aarhus University (project MINERVA, PI Tom Brughmans) and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (project Viator-e, PI Pau de Soto) with numerous collaborators from other institutions (see 'Creators').本数据集为Itiner-e数据集（Itiner-e）2024年标准版，相关说明见于de Soto等人（已投稿）的学术成果。其扩展版托管于https://itiner-e.org。 Itiner-e数据集是首个全面、详尽且空间精度优异的罗马帝国（约公元前300年—公元300年）道路数字化数据集。其构建流程如下：（1）基于现有学术资料（包括地图集、区域综述文献、勘测报告、发掘报告、地名录及里程碑史料）识别道路遗存；（2）依托现代与历史地形图、航空及卫星影像完成道路的空间定位；（3）对道路及其元数据进行数字化录入与数据清洗工作。 本数据集的核心共建单位为奥胡斯大学（MINERVA项目，项目负责人Tom Brughmans）与巴塞罗那自治大学（Viator-e项目，项目负责人Pau de Soto），另有来自多家其他机构的众多合作者（详见‘创作者’栏目）。
