Voorstraat 46, Katwijk
The map is named after the scholar and monk Konrad Peutinger (1465-1547), who inherited the original Roman map in 1508 and made copies of it. The original Roman map is now considered lost, but some of the copies he made have been preserved and later converted into engravings. In 1618 and 1624 reprints were made from the original copper plate, and one of these is now in the possession of the Katwijks Museum.
The map gives insight into the Roman world, at the time of Emperor Augustus (27 BC – 14 AD).
The original map was updated until the fourth century AD. Starting from the North Sea, it indicates what travellers at that time needed to know about, what is now, the Netherlands. The Rhine (fluvius Renus) and the Meuse (fluvius Patabus) ran through the area that was then called Patavia (Batavia). On the coast lies Lugdunum, which was indicated as a large city. This might mean that in Roman times there was a lot more to Katwijk than just the Brittenburg fortress and that it was actually a relatively large city.
