Interesting, but missing the Islamic empire that conquered all that Byzantine territory in the 600s. It stretched from Pakistan to Spain.

Then you'd have like double the colors on the map.

That's a problem for the map maker.

Maybe we can also add the Macedonian Empire while we are at it

Well this is the "yurop" community and they didn't control any part of modern day "Europe". No, Turkey isn't European. It's always been Asia Minor.
