Another mahometan not well versed in history. At the time of Mo', "Rome" was used to designate the Eastern Roman Empire, with its capital Constantinople. That's what Mo' meant so the mahometans already have it. Constantinople was taken by the Ottoman Turks in 1453 AD and renamed Istanbul.
Rome, Italy was an impoverished and neglected settlement in the Duchy of Rome, part of the Exarchate of Ravenna. At that time the Eastern Roman Empire held onto some coastal parts of Italy but most of Italy had been taken by Lombards.
