The strait between Asia Minor and Europe is known as the "Cow Ford" due to a historical association with cattle herding. The name likely stems from the early practices of crossing livestock between the two continents, particularly in regions where cattle were driven across the water. This term reflects the significance of agriculture and animal husbandry in the area's cultural and economic history. Additionally, local legends or linguistic variations may have contributed to the naming.
The surname Clarke is an Irish occupational name for a scribe or secretary, originally a member of a minor religious order. Derived from the word clerc which signified a member of a religious order.

The roman empire of course doesn't exist anymore ;D. But when it did exist the boundaries were, all of Spain, France, Italy, Asia Minor, Egypt, North Africa, NW Arabia, most of southern Europe, and halfway up England and that border is called Hadrian's wall I believe because it was built by a man named Hadrian.
The First Crusades traveled east and conquered 3/5 cities in Eurasia. Two cities in Europe were not conquered, and three cities in the Asia Minor were conquered. They traveled through the Holy Roman Empire and Byzantine Empire.
The Roman Empire was expansive covering lands across Continental Europe, Northern Africa and Eurasia at one time or another. Settlements existed in Britain, Asia Minor, the Middle East and as far as the Caucuses. Roman trade and maritime reach included ancient India and the Greek colonies of Central Asia.

The sea that separates the continents of Europe and Asia is the Black Sea. It is located between southeastern Europe and Anatolia (Asia Minor) and is connected to the Mediterranean Sea through the Bosporus Strait.
The Aegean Sea separates modern Greece from Asia Minor. The two Turkish straits (Bosphorus and the Dardanelles) are conventionally considered the border between Europe and Asia, but they are both within modern Turkey.
It was located on the south side of the Dardanelles Strait between northwest Asia Minor and the Gallipoli Peninsula in Europe. Its prosperity came from supplying and providing anchorages for vessels which lay up in the strait awaiting favourable winds to trade in the Black Sea to the east.

The Black Sea is a large inland salt-water sea between Europe and Asia Minor (i.e. Turkey) that connects with the Mediterranean Sea through the Bosporus Strait
Constantinople was on the Bosporus, a strait which divides Europe and Asia and connects the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea. She therefore controlled the land route between these two continents and the naval routes between these two seas. However, the fact that she was the capital of an empire contributed to her growth even more than her location.

Xerxes did not cross the Salamis Strait. He sat on a hill to the north of it and watched his fleet being demolished by a Greek combined fleet. He then went home. To get down to Greece from Asia Minor, he had a bridge of ships built in the Dardanelles Strait to cross over into eastern Europe to get his army on the march to Greece, which ended up in Athens to watch the Salamis sea battle with him.
