1273 CE

Emperor Michael VIII gives Pera, a suburb of Constantinople, to the Republic of Genoa in 1273 in return for Genoa's support of the Empire after the Fourth Crusade and the sacking of Constantinople in 1204.

Pera will soon become a flourishing trade colony, ruled by a podestà, and will gradually outstrip the Greek capital in economic development.
