Holley Martlew - 'The Most Serene Republic of Venice and Byzantine Empire'...with TRE's Giles Brown

The volume offers a new perspective on history. This is because it addresses a subject previously overlooked: the relationship between Venice and Byzantium. It began when the Republic of Venice was established, which, according to tradition, was in 697 under Doge Paolo Lucio Anafesto, a relationship which ended with The Conquest in 1453. The book exposes the great difference between the two cultures: so near, but yet so far. This alone makes the book unique.
