It became the Mamluk's main and favorite European trading partner during the fourteenth and the fifteenth centuries. As international trade grew and commercial exchange intensified, Venice concluded treaties with the sultans and obtained privileges for its nationals. These privileges were at least equal and often superior to those adopted in trade among European merchant cities.

The Coins of Venice by Peter E
The Coins of Venice by Peter E. Lewis View of Venice. (Wikimedia Commons) HE coins of Venice are a fascinating Tarea of study, especially if you have a strong Christian faith, because they nearly always have designs relating to Christi - anity. The people of northern Italy had been converted to Christianity by 400 AD, and when the barbarian invasions occurred in the 5 th and 6 th centuries, the people living near the coast fled to islands in the large lagoon at the north-west tip of the Adriatic Sea. Eventually the islands in the centre of the lagoon became the city of Venice. (Figure 1) At first Venice continued to be under Byzantine control, but as Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, was far to the east, Venice came more under the influence of the Francs, whose empire was founded by Charlemagne (768-814 AD) and included most of Italy. By about 840 AD, however, the city had established a largely independent position between the great empires in the east and the west, and this greatly favoured its development as a centre of trade for the whole of Europe.

The Political, Economic, and Military Decline of Venice Leading up to 1797
THE POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, AND MILITARY DECLINE OF VENICE LEADING UP TO 1797 Anna Katelin FitzSimons, B.S. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2013 APPROVED: Laura Stern, Committee Chair Richard Golden, Committee Member Geoffrey Wawro, Committee Member Richard McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History Art Govern, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School FitzSimons, Anna Katelin. The Political, Economic, and Military Decline of Venice Leading Up to 1797. Master of Arts (History), December 2013, 110 pp., 1 map, 6 images, bibliography, 69 titles. This thesis discusses the decline of the Venetian nobility, the collapse of the Venetian economy, and the political results of the surrender of the Venetian Republic to Napoleon Bonaparte in 1797. Topics include the formation of Venice, Venetian domination of trade, the class system in Venice prior to 1797, the collapse of the aristocracy, feudalism in Venice, Venice’s presence in the Adriatic and Aegean seas, and the rise of the middle class within the provisional democratic government. Very few historians have attempted to research the provisional democracy of Venice and how the political and class structure of Venice changed as a result of the collapse of the Republic in 1797. Using primary sources, including government documents and contemporary histories, one can see how the once dominant noble class slowly fell victim to economic ruin and finally lost their role in the political leadership of Venice all together. During this same period, the middle class went from only holding secretarial jobs within the government, to leaders of a modern democratic movement.

Syllabus, Art in Venice, 2020
Columbia University – Summer Program in Venice Summer 2020 Art in Venice – AHIS O4430 Venice's unique geographical location in the reflective waters of the Adriatic and at the crossroads between East and West has had a profound impact on all aspects of Venetian life and culture. This course will investigate the artistic production of the Lagoon City between the fourteenth and eighteenth centuries. The compelling works of Venetian artists, such as Carpaccio, Bellini, Giorgione and Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese, as well as the great civic and religious monuments, including the Palazzo Ducale, the great mendicant churches, and the Basilica di San Marco, will be considered in light of the sophisticated political and social systems of the Venetian Republic. Issues such as the development of the distinctive urban fabric, the invention of a civic iconography, the role of the artist, and the Venetian workshop practices, as well as the impact of the Islamic world, and private and corporate patronage, will be examined. INSTRUCTOR Caroline A. Wamsler COURSE DURATION, MEETING TIMES AND MEETING LOCATIONS Between June 9 and July 18, 2019 Tuesdays: 9:00am – ca. 3:30pm Thursdays: 9:00 – 11:00am Location – Each session listed below identifies the meeting location.

Long Live the King? Death As a Term Limit on Executives*
Long Live the King? Death as a Term Limit on Executives* Daniel J. Smith† George R. Crowley‡ J. Sebastian Leguizamon§ Abstract Can informal term limits place binding constraints on executives? And, are there conditions under which an electorate would forego formal term limits in favor of informal term limits? Formal term limits face three primary problems: they can be dispensed by powerful executives, they limit electorate discretion on term length, and they artificially shorten an executive’s time horizon. This paper extends the literature on term limits by building a model of informal term limits which overcomes these deficiencies. Our model demonstrates that an electorate could use the death of a lifetime-appointed executive, based on their projected life expectancy, to enforce binding, informal term limits. Informal term limits would enable the electorate to exercise discretion in adjusting tenure lengths when considering the tradeoff between the expected benefits of regime stability, such as experience, and the expected costs of long tenures, including the possibility of tyranny. In addition, this informal term limit would be congruent with an executive’s natural time horizon. Informal term limits would be most advantageous to an electorate fearful of both internal (tyranny) and external (military conquest) threats. A historical case study of ducal elections in late Middle Age and Renaissance Venice provides evidence of an electorate in this circumstance, the patricians of Venice, imposing informal term limits on their executives utilizing the projected life expectancy of ducal candidates at election.

06 Daubney 1731 5/1/10 08:52 Page 186 THE CIRCULATION AND PROHIBITION OF VENETIAN SOLDINI IN LATE MEDIEVAL ENGLAND ADAM DAUBNEY Introduction PETER Spufford’s 1963 paper on ‘Continental coins in late medieval England’ reviewed the numismatic and documentary evidence for the circulation and prohibition of foreign coins in medieval England, namely imitative sterlings, Flemish nobles and Venetian soldini.1 The latter coin circulated unofficially as a halfpenny due to the lack of small change in English currency at the time, though with less than half the silver of the sterling, the soldino posed a genuine threat to English coinage.2 Barrie Cook in his ‘Foreign coins in medieval England’ pointed out that it was generally only when imported coin appeared to mimic English issues that the full force of the medieval state apparatus was summoned up to combat it.3 This was certainly the case regarding the two incursions of Venetian soldini in the early fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. The soldino, meaning ‘little shilling’, was nicknamed the ‘galyhalpens’, or Galley-halfpence, after the ‘Galley-men’ who imported them. The Venetian fleet of galleys set out for England and Flanders during May and stayed there until late August or early September.4 During the summer months soldini entered the English economy through trade with Venetian merchants and quickly became widespread across England. This was a particular source of irritation for the English government who at various points in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries attempted to rid the country of them through a series of restrictions and seizures.
