ORBIS
ORBIS. S panning one-ninth of the earth's circumference across three continents, the Roman Empire ruled a quarter of humanity through complex networks of political power, military domination and economic exchange. These extensive connections were sustained by premodern transportation and communication technologies that relied on energy ...
New Interactive Map Calculates Travel Times in Ancient Rome
ORBIS helps historians see how the Roman Empire was shaped by the time and cost of moving people and goods between cities, according to the ORBIS website. Cities on the edges of the empire were ...
Travel the Roman Empire with Stanford Orbis
Stanford Orbis. ORBIS: The Stanford Geospatial Network Model of the Roman World simulates the time and price costs of travel by land, river and sea across the mature imperial transportation network, notionally approximating conditions around 200 CE. The model links some 750 Roman-era sites, spread across 10 million square kilometers, by means ...
ORBIS
ORBIS: The Stanford Geospatial Network Model of the Roman World reconstructs the time cost and financial expense associated with a wide range of different types of travel in antiquity. The model is based on a simplified version of the giant network of cities, roads, rivers and sea lanes that framed movement across the Roman Empire. It broadly ...
Teaching with ORBIS
Like Google Maps, ORBIS plots a route between two points. The ORBIS model allows users to choose between 632 sites in the Roman Empire (circa 200 CE) and simulate a journey between the sites, complete with information concerning the duration, distance traveled, and cost of the journey based on the tetrarchic price edict of 301 CE. Users can ...

New Interactive Map Calculates Travel Times in Ancient Rome. InnovationNewsDaily Staff. May 10, 2012. ORBIS shows what would have been the fastest route between Rome and modern-day London during the time of the Roman Empire. A new online tool, made by a team of historians and information technology specialists at Stanford University, shows just ...
The design and implementation of ORBIS: The Stanford geospatial network
ORBIS is a geospatial model of the Roman world representing the network of cities and travel routes that enabled movement across the Roman Empire. It is an example of neogeography, use of geographic information systems and mapmaking techniques by non-experts.

By playing with ORBIS's interactive map, you can grasp at how geography -- distance, really -- appeared to a person living nearly 2,000 years ago under the reach of the Roman empire. And if you ...
Orbis: the Stanford geospatial network model of the Roman world
Abstract: ORBIS allows us to express ancient Roman communication costs in terms of both time and expense. By simulating movement along the principal routes of the Roman road network, the main ...
Travel Time from Ancient Rome
Map created by Stanford University's ORBIS project. The map above is an Isochrone map which shows how long it would have taken someone to travel from Rome to the farthest reaches of the Roman Empire at its peak (roughly 200 CE/AD). Travelling within the core of the Empire could have be done in under a week, but travelling all the way to the ...

ORBIS enables users to calculate travel times in ancient Rome
The ORBIS team used ancient maps and records, modern-day weather measurements and modern-day historians' experiments with trying to sail in Roman-style ships to inform their calculations. ORBIS helps historians see how the Roman Empire was shaped by the time and cost of moving people and goods between cities, according to the ORBIS website.

Introducing ORBIS|via
Along with a simple description of locations along the eponymous trail and the travel between them, it gave players a few mini-games based on hunting, river crossing, and rafting. It is, in a sense, entirely unlike ORBIS, which presents the Roman Empire as a modern structure from a strategic, not situated, perspective.[4]
Urbes et orbis
URBES & ORBIS. The Roman Empire under Emperor Hadrian Cross-references to catalogues of Roman settlements. This is a map of the Roman Empire at the end of 883 from the foundation of the City (AD 130). There are 7891 settlements represented here both within the borders of the Empire and beyond.
Travel in the Roman World
This article examines Roman travel. It seeks to show how deeply travel was woven into the fabric of the ancient world and how many aspects of the Roman experience relate to it. Rather than pretend to total coverage, this article, which is divided into four sections, offers some ways of thinking about travel and its place in the Roman world ...
Revisit the Roman Empire with Orbis
One can only imagine the effort gone into making this mapping project a reality. At a basic level, it is like a computer game to play around with, for the history aficionados (click on Start Exploring the Roman World to begin). At a Geographic Information System (GIS) level, Orbis demonstrates how beautifully one can assimilate complex transport and network data onto a palatable visual ...

Funeral relief (2nd century ) depicting an Ancient Roman carriage. (CC BY-SA 3.0) Romans would travel in a raeda, a carriage with four noisy iron-shod wheels, many wooden benches inside for the passengers, a clothed top (or no top at all) and drawn by up to four horses or mules. The raeda was the equivalent of the bus today and Roman law ...
ORBIS: Roman travel time calculator
The people at Standford have done a great job making a travel time calculator for the Roman Empire. You can find it here: orbis.stanford.edu/. Basically you decide on origin and destination, the month of travel (winter is slower, obviously), time (fastest, slowest or cheapest) and the mode of transort (road, river, sea, coastal ship) or ...
