Annual of the British School at Athens, 1990•cambridge.orgThe technique of Graph Theory is described and applied to the ancient road system of the
Peloponnese, using the network described in the Peutinger Table, and compared with
George Gennadius' map of 1822. The result demonstrates the relative importance of centres
in the Peloponnese during the Roman period, and the modification to the pattern of road
usage resulting from sea communications. Details of a computer programme for the
necessary calculations are given in an appendix.
