Final Answer:
The Roman Empire in 117 A.D. included most of Europe (including Spain, Gaul, Italy, and the Balkans), North Africa (from Morocco to Egypt), and the Middle East (including Syria, Judea, and parts of Mesopotamia). Its borders were roughly:
- West: Atlantic Ocean
- North: Rhine and Danube Rivers (with Britain also under Roman control)
- East: Euphrates River (briefly extending into Mesopotamia)
- South: Sahara Desert
