Orso Ipato
Orso Ipato (Latin: ''Ursus Hypatus''; died 737) was the third traditional Doge of Venice (726–737) and the first historically known. During his eleven-year reign, he brought great change to the Venetian navy, aided in the recapture of Ravenna from Lombard invaders, and cultivated harmonious relations with the Byzantine Empire. He was murdered in 737 during a civil conflict. History Perhaps a native of Eraclea, Orso was elected Doge in 726 following the death of Marcello Tegalliano. The Venetian people had elected him against the will of the Byzantine Empire, a consequence of the Byzantines' unwelcome attempts to institute iconoclasm in the West. Virtually nothing is known of his life before his accession, though it is reasonable to assume that he was born in the latter part of the seventh century. Described by one historian as being a 'warlike man',Knight, p. 234 his reign saw much innovation in the way of martial and naval matters. He focused especially on strengthening th ...

Republic Of Venice
The Republic of Venice ( vec, Repùblega de Venèsia) or Venetian Republic ( vec, Repùblega Vèneta, links=no), traditionally known as La Serenissima ( en, Most Serene Republic of Venice, italics=yes; vec, Serenìsima Repùblega de Venèsia, links=no), was a sovereign state and maritime republic in parts of present-day Italy (mainly northeastern Italy) that existed for 1100 years from AD 697 until AD 1797. Centered on the lagoon communities of the prosperous city of Venice, it incorporated numerous overseas possessions in modern Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Greece, Albania and Cyprus. The republic grew into a trading power during the Middle Ages and strengthened this position during the Renaissance. Citizens spoke the still-surviving Venetian language, although publishing in (Florentine) Italian became the norm during the Renaissance. In its early years, it prospered on the salt trade. In subsequent centuries, the city state established a thalassocracy. It d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Marcello Tegalliano
Marcello Tegalliano (Latin: ''Marcellus Tegalianus''; died 726) was, according to tradition, the second Doge of Venice (717–726). He is described as having hailed from Eraclea, and during his nine-year reign was apparently in great disagreement with the nearby Longobards. He died in 726 and was succeeded by Orso Ipato. History The only certain historical mention of Marcello (the surname Tegalliano is a late-fourteenth-century invention of the chroniclers Nicolò Trevisan and Enrico Dandolo) is the ''Pactum Lotharii'' stipulated in 840 between the emperor Lothair I and the doge Pietro Tradonico. The text mentions the so-called ''terminatio liutprandina'', an agreement on the delimitation of the borders around Cittanova concluded under the king of the Lombards Liutprand between Duke Paoluccio and the ''magister militum'' Marcello and still in force at the time of the Holy Roman Empire. The Pactum was repeatedly confirmed in the following centuries and was therefore ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Paolo Lucio Anafesto
Paolo Lucio Anafesto ( la, Paulucius Anafestus) was, according to tradition, the first Doge of Venice, serving from 697 to 717. He is known for repelling Umayyad attacks. Biography A noble of Eraclea, then the primary city of the region, he was elected in 697 as an official over the entire lagoon that surrounded Venice. His job was to both put an end to the conflicts between the various tribunes who until then had governed the differing parts and to coordinate the defense against the Lombards and the Slavs who were encroaching on their settlements. However, Anafesto's existence is uncorroborated by any source before the 11th century. He also repelled Umayyad attacks and raids onto his kingdom. History According to John Julius Norwich, Paolo Lucio Anafesto was actually Exarch Paul. Moreover, Paul's ''magister militum'' had the same first name as Paoluccio's reputed successor, Marcellus Tegallianus, casting doubt on the authenticity of that doge as well.Norwich, p.13 Notes S ...

Caorle
Caorle (; vec, Càorle) is a coastal town in the Metropolitan City of Venice, Veneto, northern Italy, located between the estuaries of the Livenza and Lemene rivers. It is situated on the Adriatic Sea between two other tourist towns, Eraclea and Bibione. History The ancient name of the city was ''Caprulae'' (possibly because of the wild goats that grazed in this area, or in honour of pagan goddess Capris); Caorle was founded in the 1st century BC by Romans. Many archeological findings confirm this attribution, for instance the sacrificial altar called ''Ara Licovia'' (''Licovian Altar'', from the Roman Licovi family), today housed in the cathedral. A safe zone between the estuaries of the Livenza (Latin: ''Liquentia'') and Lemene (Latin: ''Romantinum'') rivers, Caorle gained importance when people from Concordia Sagittaria arrived as refugees during the Barbarian Invasions. In that period a Paleo-Christian church was built, some remains of which are today kept in the cathed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
