About the book

The Venetian Empire traces the rise and expansion of Venice as a maritime power. The book explores trade, naval warfare, colonies and diplomacy across the Adriatic and eastern Mediterranean. Venice's commercial wealth and strategic position enabled it to build an empire whose influence extended far beyond the lagoon city itself.
