Black Sea

The Black Sea is an internal sea between Europe and Middle East, located to the north of the Byzantine Empire.
==Trivia==
The Black Sea appears in the Europe & the Middle East map where it is labelled as "Pelagus Niger" in pseudo-Latin. While the correct form would be "Pelagus Nigrum", in reality it was called "Mare Nigrum" ("Sea" instead of "Pelago").
Another problem with the name is that it is anachronistic; the name "Black Sea/Mare Nigrum" comes from the much later Ottomans; the historical name of the sea would be Pontus Euxinus or just Pontus; another name was Mare Scythicum.
