	The Venetian Period in Cyprus - Siege of Famagusta
		The first batteries were constructed on a front of 1,000 paces on the south side of the fortress, against the arsenal tower near the harbour to the ravelin which guarded the land gate at the south-west corner.
		The Venetian commanders were at last convinced that further resistance was futile, and on 1 August, 1571 sent envoys to arrange the conditions of surrender.
		The terms agreed to by both sides were that the fortress would be surrendered on condition that all lives were to be spared, that the garrison should be given transport to Crete with their arms and property, and that the inhabitants should be allowed either to remain in safety or to move where they moved.

	The Arsenal Of Venice
		Of all modern nations the Venetians were the first to build strong vessels; even as early as the time of the Crusades, they undertook the transportation of French armies; and they had not merely to carry the troops but to provide escort and defend them at need.
		The Venetians remained the superiors in one thing,—their artillery, and in every naval battle that they won, it is said that the fate of the day was due to the excellent marksmanship of the Venetian gunners.
		The Venetians surpassed all people of their day in construction and this superiority was attributed to two causes: the skill of the workmen and the quality of the timber they used.

	Italy - Some Lessons From The Venetian Arsenal
		The Venetian system, which aimed at keeping down the really strong man, was not specially favourable to the production of genius, and, in their long history, the Venetian fleets had, as might well be supposed, their ordinary share of efficient and inefficient commanders.

		A similar advantage was gained in refitting and repairing vessels, the Venetian consuls in the various ports being provided from the Arsenal of Venice with a supply of standard masts, rudders, shrouds, and other fittings, which enabled them to meet all demands promptly and accurately.

		Venetians, it was commonly known, could get so swept up in their enthusiasm for these battles that large-scale encounters could bring normal life in the city to a virtual standstill.
		Nevertheless, there was always a goodly portion of the Venetian patriciate that would have preferred to see these often-chaotic expressions of rampant factionalism brought under the control of the state, and at the very least to transform the more wild, spontaneous battagliole into contained and safe affairs.
		Those among the Venetian Signoria who hoped to do something similar with their city's battagliole sui ponti were no doubt well aware of more than a few precedents in which the rulers of the Serenissima had converted other popular festivities and diversions into tame amusements appropriate for patrician tastes.
