On the bottom three levels, I only know the Roman related points (Vandal Kingdom, Roman coins in Mozambique)

FUN FACT: The furthest regular trading port frequented by the Romans in Africa was in Tanzania, which took nearly two months to travel to from Roman Egypt by sailing ship, and then two months to return - assuming ideal winds!
