That would be eventually. Back then, Europe and Asia weren't continents, they were names of undetermined regions that were north or east of them respectively.

I don't know when or who decided "you know what? This whole region? It's a continent, and let's call it Europe" (maybe the Romans? Or even the Greeks?).
