A few notes:
For ancient civilizations national flags were not used, rather common symbols, symbols of the state, or of a regime are shown.
Armenia should’ve been partitioned between Rome and the Sassanid Empire in 390 and 428.
The Khanate of Khiva (with no flag) should have been shown instead of the Khanate of Bukhara.

  1. The history of the first Saudi state was unfair in terms of area. It included half of Yemen, Oman, Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, the Emirates in full, Qatar in full, and Bahrain in full. History
