- Content: The work is a collection of ancient and late antique travel guides, which together provide a view of the geography and road network of the Roman Empire.
• Itinerarium Antonini: a road book from the late 3rd/early 4th century with lists of routes, place names and inter-urban distances (in miles) across the entire empire. It served mainly for travel and logistics, possibly for imperial journeys.
• Itinerarium Burdigalense (Jerusalem Itinerary): the oldest preserved Christian pilgrimage account, from 333 CE. It describes the land route from Bordeaux to Jerusalem and back via Rome and Milan, with stops, distances and brief mentions of biblical sites.
• Synecdemus of Hierocles: a Byzantine list from the 6th century (circa 527–528) of the provinces and over 900 cities of the East Roman Empire, organized by province. More administrative geography than a travel route.

The book bundles these texts with extensive commentaries by scholars from the 16th and 17th centuries. For historians and topographers it long remained a standard reference for ancient geography and toponymy.
