As I have stated elsewhere I view the rosettes causeways very much like the strips that comprise Matthew de Paris's stripmap of his journey from London to Jerusalem.
As is clear these causeways on the rosettes folio are quite distinct and different. If they all are essentially meaningless then why did the author pay for such a large piece of vellum to illustrate lots of details that have no meaning? If they have a meaning what is that meaning other than the specific geographical details of a map?
