The only similarity was geographic. Both empires were centred abound the Mediterranean. In fact, the Ottoman possessions around the Mediterranean covered areas which has been previously part of the Roman Empire.

The main geographical differences were that 1) the Roman Empire also covered northern Morocco, the Mediterranean shores in western Europe (Spain, France, Italy and Malta), Slovenia and Croatia, which the Ottomans did not conquer; 2) the Ottoman Empire included areas of the Middle East (Persia, Iraq, the Persian Gulf coast down to close to the peninsula of Qatar, the Arab and Yemeni coasts on the Red Sea) and eastern Sudan, Eritrea, and a small part of the coast north-eastern Somalia, which the Romans did not conquer.
