Description

Please note that these colors denote economic zones and not actual territorial control. Often, tribes or societies at the fringes of empires would begin trading with the empire, thus bringing in goods from beyond the empire. An ancient example was the fact the Roman Empire frequently obtained amber from Germania and the Baltic coast, even though no Roman army ever traveled there or exerted imperial control there.

Colored lines on the sea denote sea trade,
Yellow- Spain
Green- Portugal
Blue- France
Red- Britain
Purple- Dutch
Hazel- Arab
