-
Don't forget Italy! The loss of Egypt was far more detrimental than losing the levant and Western North Africa

Why is Thrace white?
-
It should be as red as bythinia and much wealthier than Galatia
-
In 14 AD? Not sure, aslo, large pieces of territory were completely uninhabited back then. But white signifies not measured in this map imo

-
I don't remember where Egnatia passed from, but where Istanbul is now, in 14AD there was a really small settlement called Byzantium.
