North Africa and Middle East Kingdoms and Principalities

Historical kingdoms of North Africa and the Middle East, spanning Egypt's Hellenistic Ptolemaic Kingdom, the Vandal Kingdom that ruled North Africa from Carthage, the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Jewish Hasmonean Kingdom of Judea in the Levant, the Armenian and Anatolian kingdoms of Armenia, Cilicia, Cappadocia, Bithynia, Pontus, Commagene and the Karamanid beylik, and the Hellenistic Attalid Kingdom of Pergamon in western Asia Minor. A kingdom is placed here by its own territory sitting in North Africa, the Levant, Anatolia or the Caucasus, the same Middle Eastern and North African region this atlas already uses to group its modern sovereign republics.
