Western Europe: Italy, Malta, Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Holland south of the river Rhine, southern Germany and part of central Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria and England and Wales.

Eastern Europe: western Hungary, part of western Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia, Albania, Greece, Bulgaria,most of Romania, Moldova and a slither of Ukraine

Asia: Turkey, Cyprus, Armenia, northern Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Palestine, Jordan, and the northern part of the coast of the Red Sea in Saudi Arabia.

Africa: Egypt, the coastal part of Libya, Tunisia, the coastal part of Algeria, and northern Morocco.

This was all of the Romans conquests, except from the rest of Iraq, which was conquered by Trajan from the Persians in 116. His successor, Hadrian, gave this territory back to the Persians.
