Territories of the Republic of Venice, superimposed over modern borders: in dark red the territories conquered at the start of the 15th century, in red the territories at the start of the 16th century, in pink the territories conquered temporarily, in yellow the sea dominated by Venetian fleet during the 15th century, in orange the main routes, purple squares are the main emporiums and commercial colonies The Map wrongly places Laodicea on the East Mediterranean coast instead of Latakia. Laodicea in Turkey is an inland city to the far west of Anatolia.
