At the peak of the Roman Empire's reach, around A.D. 117, the Empire stretched as far north as modern Scotland, stretched down through Europe east into Asia as far as the border between modern day Iraq and Iran, with its southern reaches extending into northern Africa.

The Roman Empire, during its peak, went as far north as Britannia. It took the regions of Londinium and Eboracum and went passed them. It was around AD 117 when the Roman Empire reached its greatest extend. After Trajan's death, many provinces were abandoned.
