Well, usually "oriente" in ancient time means middle east or east Europe. The "other" orient is "Far East".
I think it is clear that in that contest "oriente" was meaning "Middle East" or Balcans or the greek area. It is usual this way to describe the easter provinces in archeological records and statements.
