It covered Western Europe up to the lower river Rhine and central Germany, southeastern Europe, North Africa and part of the Middle East. In Europe it stretched from the Atlantic to the Black Sea and in the middle East it bordered with Persia (present day Iran).

It also covered parts of 10 more modern day countries (3 in western Europe, 3 in eastern Europe, 1 in Asia, and 3 in North Africa). Therefore, it touched a total of 41 countries.
