Doge of Venice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (808 words)
Whether or not the first doges were technically local representatives of the Emperor at Constantinople, the doge like the Emperor held office for life and was similarly regarded as the ecclesiastical, the civil and the military leader, in a power structure termed caesaropapism.
While doges had great temporal power at first, after 1268, the doge was constantly under strict surveillance: he must wait for other officials to be present before opening dispatches from foreign powers; he was not allowed to possess any property in a foreign land.
One of the ceremonial duties of the doge was to celebrate the symbolic marriage of Venice with the sea.
Venice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (3355 words)
Venice (Italian: Venezia, Venetian: Venexia) 45°26′N 12°19′E, the "city of canals", is the capital of the region of Veneto and of the province of Venice in Italy.
In the 12th century the essentials for the power of Venice were laid: the Venetian Arsenal was under construction in 1104; Venice wrested control of the Brenner pass from Verona in 1178, opening a lifeline to silver from Germany; the last autocratic doge, Vitale Michiele, died in 1172.
Venice was threatened with the interdict on a number of occasions and twice suffered its imposition.
