In 500 CE, the Byzantine Empire primarily encompassed regions that are part of modern-day Turkey, particularly the area around Istanbul, which was then known as Byzantium and later Constantinople. Additionally, it extended into parts of the Balkans, Greece, and the eastern Mediterranean, including areas of modern-day Italy, Syria, and Egypt. The heart of the empire was in the eastern Mediterranean, with its capital at Constantinople.
