Settepozzi. Battle of

Years: 1263 - 1263

The Battle of Settepozzi is fought sometime in May–July 1263 off Settepozzi (the Italian name for Spetses) between a Genoese-Byzantine fleet and a smaller Venetian fleet.

The resulting Venetian victory has important political repercussions, as the Byzantines distance themselves from their alliance with Genoa and restore their relations with Venice.

"Not to know what happened before you were born is to be a child forever. For what is the time of a man except it be interwoven with that memory of ancient things of a superior age?"

― Marcus Tullius Cicero, Orator (46 BCE)
