Out of ROBERT TALBOT.
What I have spoken ought to have that consideration and regard, that I might, as well as I could, declare how much this one little Book ought to be weighed, and esteemed of, which contains under ANTONINUS AUGUSTUS his Name, the waies and Iourneys of all the Provinces of the Roman Empire, which yeildeth to us an in∣come of so wonderfull Profit, that it affords most clear light to Strabo, Pomponius, Mela, Pliny, most excellent Authors in the explication of the whole World, as it were in great darkness. So far Robert Talbot.

Rutilius Numatianus afforded us his Itinerary in Elegiack Verses, but Antonius, or whether he is Antoninus Augustus in bare name, which in a Land, Journey, and military way and march, the Roman Captains made use of (of which kind we see some in Italy and fewer in Spain used by Passengers, where at this day they are carried on horses which are appointed for speed.) But for Itinerary Tables, which are very usefull in matter of War, Fl. Vegetius is to be seen lib. III. De re Militari, cap. VI. Of what kind of Military Tables the famous man Mark Velf•…•…r, one of the seven Magistrates of the Com∣mon-Wealth of Auspurg, very well deserving of all Antiquity, lately found out in the Library of Conrade Peutinger, a noble man there, and also adorned with Scholia's, or Notes. But Ortelius our friend (the Prince of Geographers) set forth all of it also cut into Brass; by the Printing of Iohn Moret: in which kind I think nothing of ancient Monuments to be extant, either to be preferred, or comparable to it.
I can bring nothing of certainty concerning the Writer; Onely thus much, That this Itinerary may seem to be written by some learned Mea∣surer of Land well acquainted with the places: but afterwards who by the command of some Emperour, it is likely after Marcus Aurelius, Antoninus Pius, for good lucks sake retained the Sirname, and publickly took the name and authority of Antoninus Augustus; although most old
