Thank you for the podcast series. I'm currently fascinated with Venice and it's connection to the Phoenicians.

Hi ! I also wrote a history masters on Venice seventeenth century : any possibility of getting a copy of your theses ?

[@wonderershistorypodcast]

Hi, I've put a link to ethos.co.uk which will link you to the University of Aberdeen's institutional repository (which is Primo, their terms and conditions of course apply :) ) My thesis focused mainly on the 1559-1581 period, Venetian Cyprus, 4th Ottoman Venetian War in the broader Spanish-Ottoman Mediterranean conflict. ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.731609

my belief is their "empire" moved to England...even though they have home bases in Venice. If they were the Phoenicians then have a model that they use to determine their political, geographical, financial moves. with their wealth they could "buy" their way into powerful faimily houses who NEEDED the funds thereby control the families through their wealth.

[@wonderershistorypodcast]

There is definitely a correlation with Venice's economic decline after the 1570's and the rise of the East India company after 1600 along with increasing English influence in the Levant.

I didn't watch the video, but it will help me. I'm trying to take the history of Venice to Portuguese, if someone has already done this, youtube doesn't recommend it :\ . Thank you very much in advance.

@@wonderershistorypodcast I really liked it, it was like a "Pa". because I didn't know that it had these "defects" that destroyed the country

[@jstantongood5474]

1100 you're calling the "dark ages"? Many historians would disagree with that.

[@wonderershistorypodcast]

Cardinal Baronius used the term for the 10th & 11th centuries. Petrarch himself was possibly one who originated the idea & term. Francesco Guicciardini likewise uses the term as a precursor in his history of Italy. I myself at the University of Aberdeen have heard my tutors and lecturers call the 1100's in Scotland anything from very early medieval to still the dark ages. Some go as far to the 1400's (bit much that for me) but regardless, it is a wide very encompassing terms. Would also ask you the name "most" historians". I've named a few and I can list Prof. Dumville with his courses, Ally McDonald, and pretty much every medievalist I've encountered.

@wonderershistorypodcast Points taken.

I would think that alot of people corelate the dark ages with the plaque
