Years: 1016 - 1016
Bari had continued to be governed by Constantinople, with only occasional interruption, until the arrival of the Normans.
Throughout this period, and indeed throughout the Middle Ages, Bari has served as one of the major slave depots of the Mediterranean, providing a central location for the trade in Slavic slaves.
The slaves are mostly captured by Venice from Dalmatia, the Holy Roman Empire from what is now Prussia and Poland, and the Greeks from elsewhere in the Balkans, and are generally destined for other parts of the Empire and (most frequently) the Muslim states surrounding the Mediterranean: the Abbasid Caliphate, the Umayyad Caliphate of Córdoba, the Emirate of Sicily, and the Fatimid Caliphate (which relies on Slavs purchased at the Bari market for its legions of Sakalaba Mamluks).
