THE AXUMITE EMPIRE
The Aksum or Aksum Empire was an important military power and trading nation in the region that is now Eritrea and northern Ethiopia, existing from around AD 100 to 940. At its peak, it was one of the four major international superpowers of its time along with Persia, Rome and China. Axum controlled northern Ethiopia, Eritrea, northern Sudan, southern Egypt, Djibouti, western Yemen and southern Saudi Arabia, totaling 1.25 million square kilometers. It is almost half the size of India. Axum traded and projected its influence as far as China and India, where coins minted in Axum were discovered in 1990.
