The factual accuracy of this map or the file name is disputed.
Reason: Do not use this map until SVG is corrected and PNG updated, as it is mostly based on the Shepherd's map which shows innacurate history of Venetian Republic on Eastern Adriatic, specifically of Dalmatia. It is showing seriouly erroneous and misleading Venetian control over whole region of modern Dalmatia - which became in full extent only in the late 17th and 18th century. It was never the case in the 15th and 16th century, as then most part of Dalmatian hinterland was under Hungarian-Croatian Kingdom and then Ottoman Empire. Venetian Dalmatia at the time included only the very coastal part of Dalmatia with very near hinterland of the Dalmatian city-states, the majority of the hinterland was not Venetian at all. The borders of the Ottoman conquest are also significantly erroneous for the time period as in the map look like modern borders of Bosnia and Herzegovina which became the case only many centuries later.
The map omits a lot of Venice, both islands such as Crete, and coastal areas such as Kotor. |
