In Greek and Roman times it was the centre of world. Its prosperity gave rise to great cities like Miletus and Ephesus, rivalling Rome itself. The Byzantine Empire which followed lasted over 1100 years, linking the Classical world to the Renaissance. From 1453 to 1919 the Ottoman Empire spread throughout the Mediterranean. At the time of Elizabeth I it was wealthier and more refined than anywhere in Europe.
