The Byzantines were members of the Eastern Roman (or Byzantine) Empire, which changed greatly in size over the course of its history. At its largest extent, the Empire included much of the Mediterranean coastline, as well as all of Greece, Turkey, Egypt, and much of the Middle East. Much of this was lost after the first wave of Islamic expansion in the 7th Century CE, but throughout most of their history the Byzantines managed to maintain control of Greece and Turkey.
