@@geodim3904 Byzantium never even came close to Bactria/Afghanistan, or even most of Persia really, but they too at times extended into at least southern Italy, even Tunesia & parts of Spain were for a time back in "Roman" hands under Justinian. Either way, a little too much to the south, east and north east, but too little to the west. Also it states "Ancient Greece". It was only called Byzantium with the fall of Western Rome, which was the exact moment the ancient age ended and the medieval one began.
