Dec 23, 2013 at 11:59 comment added o0'. Might be correct, but part of that thesis should be writte here, otherwise this is not much different from a "link only" answer... :/
Jan 1, 2013 at 19:11 comment added none @anixx - but without an emperor. Although if Berlusconi gets back in and appoints his horse to the senate .....
Jan 1, 2013 at 8:07 comment added Anixx @mgb As I know Rome is there now.
Jan 1, 2013 at 3:47 comment added none @anixx - didn't there stop being a Rome around 475?
Dec 31, 2012 at 22:18 comment added Anixx @mgb founded in 568 it was a Roman city until 726 when the citizens rebelled and killed Roman authorities (although later it was again restored in the empire).
Dec 31, 2012 at 19:06 comment added none @anixx - I thought Venice was built C6 by people hiding in the swamps after Rome fell and barbarian hordes were arriving?
Dec 31, 2012 at 11:54 comment added Felix Goldberg @Anixx: Venice is indeed Roman in foundation, but actually it fits the "old Roman fort" label not bad at all. Its first significant development belongs to the Byzantine era.
Dec 31, 2012 at 9:25 comment added Anixx @mgb why do you think that Venice was not Roman?
Dec 31, 2012 at 3:52 comment added none But are there any major medieval cities that weren't originally Roman? I can only think of Venice
