THE GENIUS OF ROME
On the Roman Empire map dated 125, there are 10 legionnaires bases on the Black Sea-Eastern Mediterranean line, starting from the ancient city of Satala around Trabzon and extending to Alexandria.
If we include the 10 bases along the Danube, 20 of the 30 bases in the Empire are on the Danube-Euphrates-Nile line.
While connecting the Danube and Euphrates lines over the Black Sea, ROME also interlocked the Euphrates and Nile lines over the Eastern Mediterranean. And named the Mediterranean as the inland sea (Mare Internum).
In the western Mediterranean, there is only two bases in Spain and Algeria.
What an important strategic initiative of ROME with Eastern Mediterranean focus.
Earliest settlements were in the Eastern Mediterranean in the World.
