The Byzantine Empire, and its capital of Constantinople, held a strategic geographical significance. Constantinople is located right between the Black Sea and the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea. As a result most trade between Asia, Europe and North Africa had to pass through the Byzantine Empire.
The Minoans managed a lucrative ancient shipping empire that dominated the Mediterranean, Greece, the Greek Islands, and stretched as far as Black Sea. This naval power was used to ferry trade goods throughout the Greek Islands and these trading ferries made the Minoans extremely wealthy. The Minoans also relied on this infrastructure for their food supply and would ferry grain from the Black Sea farms back to their Greek Island beaches.
