Charlie Austin's 10th league goal of the season earned Swindon a point against promotion-chasing Peterborough.
The visitors took an early lead after excellent play by George Boyd set up Lee Tomlin to fire home from 10 yards.
The Robins scored a deserved equaliser when Matt Ritchie was brought down by Mark Little in the area, Austin slotting home the resulting spot kick.
Austin had a chance to win it for the hosts but his last-minute effort came back off the post.
Peterborough United boss Gary Johnson told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: "I think it was a fair result. We had our opportunities in the first half and they had theirs in the second.
"Swindon have beaten some good teams here so a draw is a good result.
"It was nice to finally play a game of football."
