Tabula Peutingeriana

 * Reason:A high quality reproduction of an incredibly important historical artifact; excellent stitching and color matching. The height is 70 pixels short of the FPC minimum, but given the length I hope we can overlook that.
 * Articles this image appears in:Tabula Peutingeriana, Ancient world maps

 * Question What is the particular value of this nineteenth century recontstruction of an imperial Roman map? Durova Charge! 08:29, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I imagine that the historical value of the map itself is self-evident; this particular reconstruction is of a quality and legibility so as to be readable by modern non-scholars, something problematic (for lack of any better term) about earlier versions and that I think is the real unique value of this particular rendition.

 * If you locate a less JPEG artifacted version I'd support. Durova Charge! 20:37, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose - tried to hold off, but really needs a less artifacted file to deserve FP. Please renominate if something better becomes available.  Durova Charge! 03:53, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose huge amount of JPEG artifacts, rendering text unreadable. If there is a less compressed version, please upload. &mdash; BRIAN 0918 &bull; 2008-02-20 14:16Z
 * Weak Support - of important encyclopædic value, but it is a facsimile, after all. Booksworm Sprechen-sie Koala? 20:27, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak support - I would prefer to see the original though this facsimile has enc interest and the advantage of being readable. I believe that in the original Tabula Peutigeriana the first sheet (the one with Iberia) is missing. I'm curious about the origin of the left most part of this facsimile. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 08:36, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose the artifact, especially around the labels, makes it clear that there was a better uncompressed scan and that is might be possible to get it. gren グレン 02:04, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Support - Its awesome. Terrasidius (talk) 20:05, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
