Byzantine Empire - Death of Basil II

Time: 1025

Place: Constantinople, Byzantine Empire

Details: After much campaigning in the north, the last Arab threat to Byzantium, the rich province of Sicily, was targeted in 1025 by Basil II, who died before the expedition could be completed. By that time the Empire stretched from the straits of Messina to the Euphrates and from the Danube to Syria.
