Venice became a more important state in the 1000s and 1100s, and started to build not only their trading empire, but also more equal relations to the Byzantine Empire, the Holy Roman Empire and the Pope in Rome.

Episode 5 — Ascendancy

A podcast of Venetian Stories — episodes from the History of Venice from the time of Augustus until today. It is not a chronological narrative, but a series of freestanding episodes from the two millennia of Venetian history. However, for newcomers, the first few episodes are a quick-paced chronological narrative of the most important events. Start there, even if you arrive later.
