Answer:

C. Byzantine money was found as far away as Europe and China.

Explanation:

The term “Byzantine” derives from Byzantium, an ancient Greek colony founded by a man named Byzas. Located on the European side of the Bosporus (the strait linking the Black Sea to the Mediterranean), the site of Byzantium was ideally located to serve as a transit and trade point between Europe and Asia.

As for modern countries that exist where the Empire once stood, that would be Greece, Turkey, most of the Baltic states, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan and Egypt. They briefly had some holds in what is now Tunisia as well as Italy and Spain. The Byzantine Empire was not a coalition, or union, it was an Empire.

The Byzantine Empire ruled most of Eastern and Southern Europe throughout the Middle Ages. Its capital city, Constantinople, was the largest and wealthiest city in Europe during the time. Emperor Constantine I came to power as emperor in 306 CE.
