Deja Vu or a classic Hollywood reboot? You decide ~~~

Jokes aside, I was really excited when Suibhne (another wonderful history channel) approached me for the possibility of collaborating on Italian History way back in April, and I took the opportunity to refresh, consolidate, and just generally update my history of the Venetian Republic into one, shiny, comprehensive package (because four videos was just excessive (he says, completely oblivious to the fact that he split Augustus into three videos earlier this very year)).

SO that's exactly what I did, and then surprise, Griffin the Armchair Historian and I came up with a plan to get a bunch of channels together in some big crazy mega-collaboration, and I (in equal parts brilliance and supreme laziness) suggested everyone take a topic in naval history, so that I could kill two collaborations with one video. 17 channels and three months later, here we are!

This has been really exciting for me to put together along with Griffin and Suibhne and the many many others, so whether you watch the whole playlist or just my video, I hope that you enjoy :)

In the late Middle Ages and at the height of the Renaissance, all roads on the maritime highway of the Mediterranean Sea led to Venice.
