Road map of Italy from 300 AD.

René Voorburg, an archivist at the National Library of the Netherlands, digitized a Roman road map from about 300 AD. "OmnesViae" displays a route between two towns of your choice and provides driving directions. He did this for the whole territory of the Roman Empire at the time. It's quite amazing.

I've included a screenshot of the directions from Arezzo to Rome - FYI.
