Lines join the stops in the order of the text — the roads themselves are not known. Dashed: by ship. Pale: the site is uncertain.

Each point is the most likely site (OpenBible.info); a pale point means the identification is uncertain. Places whose site is unknown are not on the map.

Roman roads: the roads of the Roman Empire of about 300 BC – AD 300 by the atlas Itiner-e; dashed — roads it marks as hypothetical. The exact way of the journey along them is not described in the text.
