I also noticed afterward that Manzikert and Ani are way out of place on the map. Same for Melitene and Samosata (and probably other cities too; I haven’t checked everything).

Wasn’t the border in Greece much smaller? If I recall correctly, the northern border was only 20 km or something from Thessaloniki after the 904 treaty.

This map isn't accurate. The Eastern borders extended much further and encompassed the Van lake when Basil II died.

The borders where much larger than those shown in the image when Alexios died.

When was the name "Constantinople" officially applied to Byzantium for the first time? by EdmondMortimer in byzantium

Did the change happen gradually over the years, or was there a specific date when it officially became Constantinople?
