Abstract

In the context of the fruitful collaboration between PAThs, an ERC-funded project, and LAD, the Laboratory for Digital Archaeology at Sapienza University of Rome, an experimental attempt to link between them places being described by the Archaeological Atlas of Coptic Literature developed into a road graph for Late Antique Egypt.Desktop GIS software has been used to build and update the graph by following different sources and methodologies, and the resulting data have been published online as open access (https://paths-erc.eu/moveit/ ). A single-page application was built and is available to provide a graphical user interface to access the data and use the graph to calculate directions from one place to another. The project is opened and shared with the broad community of scholars for further development.
