What are on the tabula peutingeriana the eastern and western neighbours of this site, what is the name of this site on the tabula peutingeriana, and how many Roman miles does the tabula name as distance to the two neighbour sites?

My goodness this is a complicated one!
First, the combination of Jupitersäule and reconstructed turret cries out Römerpark Köngen to me. (A site that, I regret, I have never visited.) If I am correct, Kastell Köngen on the Neckar Limes was known as Grinario. And second, on the Peutinger Table, Grinario is flanked by Clarenna (Kastell Donnstetten) and Sumelocenna (?Rottenburg), which lie xxii (22) miles in either direction.
Quote:Almost correct... almost... :grin:
One detail needs correction.
One detail?
Grinario being written as Grinarione on the map?
Or Sumelocenna being written as Samulocenna or something on the map?
Or that the map actually shows no figure for the distance between Grinario and Clarenna (which makes this a trick question)?

Well, since Duncan does not immediately post a photo, I think I will post a photo that he might have uploaded. People with access to facebook can find the original on Duncan's page.

I was dutifully awaiting our colleague Christian's arbitration on whether my identification of his photo was sufficient to "win the round", or whether Robert's supplementary information clinched it for him.
By all means have a go at that photo. And good luck! I should say that I selected it, only because it is nice and wide and seems to suit Facebook's new landscape format!
Well it's not Sycamore Gap for that is on Hadrian's Wall with an overcast sky sadly, a nicer tree of course.
