Line 9: The compiler of the itinerary was aware at each boundary of crossing from one [[Roman province]] to the next, and distinguished carefully between each change of horses (''mutatio'') and a stopover place (''[[mansio]]''), and the differences between the simplest cluster of habitations (''[[vicus]]'') and the fortress (''[[castellum]]'') or city (''[[civitas]]''). The segments of the journey are summarised; they are delineated by major cities, with major summaries at Rome and Milan, long-established centers of culture and administration, and Constantinople, refounded by Constantine only three years previously, and the "non-city"<ref>"...the non-city of Jerusalem, which until Constantine's accession was nothing but a provincial backwater, its Jewish and Christian sites utterly destroyed in its Hadrianic refounding." (Elsner 2000:189).</ref> Jerusalem.
