What are the countries that have a border with Hungary and a coastline with the Black Sea?

There is no current capital that borders both the Black and Mediterranean Seas as the distance between them at their closest point is around 500 kilometers or 300 miles. However, Turkey, the only country that borders both Seas has an inland capital at Ankara.

During the days of the Ottoman Empire (1453-1923), Istanbul, the only city on both the Aegean Sea (an arm of the Mediterranean Sea) and Black Seas, was the capital of that state. Istanbul still remains Turkey's largest metropolis even though the authority of government remains vested in Ankara.

How was the capital of the umayyads different from other cities of western Europe?

It's because the Umayyads had Damascus as their capital and when the Abbasids took power they moved the capital from Damascus to Baghdad. But since you're asking about the Umayyads, Damascus was different compared to other Western European cities. From Damascus, the Ummayyads could rule their entire empire. They could do this because they had emirs (which are basically govenors) who were appointed to different provinces throughout the empire (they were appointed by the caliphs) and the emirs with the help of local clan leaders in each province governed their appointed province. This really helped the Umayyads because they could rule all the way from Damascus. Everywhere you go has so many states. For example in the United States. And obviously their president is unable to govern all the states at once (aside from laws), so what do we have???

senators, mayors, police, judges-They all help. Think of the senator as the emir and the mayor, police officers, and judges as the clan leaders.

Similarly, this is how it was in Damascus.
