Republic of Venice
Republic of Venice appears on the map from 705 to 1796. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1687, it covered about 65,312 km².
Venice was founded by people fleeing barbarian invasions to the islands of a lagoon at the head of the Adriatic. Traditionally its first doge, or duke, was elected in 697, and the city gradually broke free from Byzantine rule. Venice grew rich as the middleman between Europe and the eastern Mediterranean, trading spices, silk and slaves. More about Republic of Venice.
