Episode 27 — Cassiodorus
March 25th is supposedly the birthday of Venice. That might be true, or it might not be because we have no primary sources for such an event, and no archaeological evidence.
The oldest written source we have, which mentions the earliest residents of the lagoons, is a letter somebody sent them, from around 537.
