What were the boundaries of the Roman Empire in AD 117?

Answer 1

In Europe the borders of the Roman Empire followed the river Rhine from its mouth to Mainz (in Germany). The limes Germanicus (a fortification) crossed part of central and southern Germany and reached the river Danube. It followed the Danube up to Bratislava. Then it roughly corresponded to the present day northern borders of Hungary, Romania and Moldova.

In Asia the frontier followed the Caucasus Mountain and the southern-western shore of the Caspian Sea. It crossed northern Iran up to Lake Urmia and run to the east of the present day Iran-Iraq border and was roughly parallel to it. It comprises the whole of the northern coast of the Persian Gulf. The Arabian Desert was the southern border.

In Africa the empire included Morocco down to Agadir. The Sahara Desert was the border of Roman Algeria, Tunisia and Libya. The southern border of Egypt was similar to the current one.

Answer 2

The extent of the Roman empire reached from the Atlantic Ocean to the Black Sea and from North Africa to Scotland. All the lands between these borders were part of the Roman empire. Most ancient names and borders of the countries were different from modern ones. Even though some of the names may be the same, such as Macedonia and Syria, their borders were different. Egypt and Britain are the only two provinces that have remained roughly the same down through the years.
