"Werent Vikings used as troops by the Eastern Roman Empire?"
They could have been I will look into it. From many accounts and archeological evidence the Vikings made it as far as the Volga River. If they sailed south they could have made it as far as the Mediterranean again. Later the Normans ( Viking descent ) hired themselves out as mercenaries to the Eastern Roman Empire ( The Normans-Osprey ). I would like to keep adding to the time line and will probably post more in the future. Greeks,Romans and Egyptians are all that I am working on currently.
