The Benin Empire or Edo Empire (1440-1897) was a large pre-colonial African state of modern Nigeria. It is not to be confused with the modern-day country called Benin (and formerly called Dahomey).

Also not to be confused with the former name of Japanese capital of Tokyo circe 1603.
Might as well be used as the flag for the whole of Africa.
