1,3:1 Samarobriva Ambianorum

Noting that there is a written figure giving a distance, XXXI, which refers to nothing else currently visible in the manuscript's linework, Talbert 601 argues that a copyist has omitted a line. This exit from Samarobriva Ambianorum certainly reflects the importance of Roman Amiens as a junction (see DARE), but this particular one is not likely to have been part of the ur-type of the Tabula, as it does not belong to any long-distance itinerary, and I have duly marked it thin black.
