The Maritime Republics: Venice, Genoa, Pisa and Amalfi

The city-states known as maritime republics were independent territories which enjoyed considerable power in the Mediterranean. From the tenth to the thirteenth centuries, these republics built fleets both for their own protection and to support their extensive trade networks. They provided transport to individuals and states, but mostly they would take advantage of political and trading opportunities wherever these appeared. This course will study the rise and decline of Venice, Genoa, Pisa and Amalfi as great naval medieval powers.

So we can continue to support our students, we are working towards putting this course online, by setting up live seminars that students can join through Collaborate - a tool for online meetings that is similar to making video calls.

Students joining our online courses would need access to a computer, laptop or tablet with a microphone, and a reliable broadband connection. You can join the seminars using a smartphone, but this would make viewing any presentations difficult.
