Make an interactive map of the byzantine empire through the years?

So, basically I want to make a map of the byzantine empire through the years. I think that I need to manipulate a ton of photos and control when which photo pops up. The thing is I dont understand how to code that or how to make the pictures melt together for smooth viewing, but the melt thing is a bit over board so I just need a ton of photos. I think?

Thank you so much I had a little delay, but I have finally finished it. Also, many thanks for the spoiler :)

Rather than photos, maybe you can use historical entity information in WL.

DateValue[Entity["HistoricalCountry", "ByzantineEmpire"][#], "Year"] & /@ {"StartDate", "EndDate"}
(* {395, 1453} *)

Empire and country borders in the year 500

GeoGraphics[{{Polygon[
    Dated[Entity["HistoricalCountry", "ByzantineEmpire"], 
     DateObject[{500}]]]}}, 
 GeoBackground -> {"CountryBorders", DateObject[{500}]}]

You try using Table to generate a list of GeoGraphics for a range of years and Export them to AVI or GIF.
