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 Roman Empire benefited from being centred on the Mediterranean because this sea acted as a means of communication between the lands on its shores and facilitated the growth of a thriving trading network around the empire. Shipping was intense and goods were shipped all around this sea.
