Prior to 1497, most goods were transported from India and China to Europe over a land route, since no true sea route had been established. This was obviously far more costly and time-consuming.

Answer:

Britain and Gaul

Explanation:

The Byzantine Empire was the eastern part of the Roman Empire that survived throughout the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance. This empire was located in the eastern Mediterranean and its capital was Constantinople. At the death of Emperor Theodosius I, in 395, the Empire was finally divided: Flavio Honorio, his youngest son, inherited the West, with its capital in Rome, while his eldest son, Arcadio, corresponded to the East, with its capital in Constantinople. For most authors, it is from this moment that the history of the Byzantine Empire begins. The Byzantine Empire inherited the regions of Greece, Anatolia, Thrace, Macedonia, and the Middle East. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, and especially under the rule of the emperor Justinian, the Byzantine Empire took an aggressive campaign of reconquest, through which it gained the regions of Northern Africa, Italy, and Southern Spain, ruling over almost the entire Mediterranean Sea. The only regions that were not under Byzantine domain were Gaul (France) and Britain.
