The Pactum Lotharii is an agreement signed on February 23, 840 between Republic of Venice and the Carolingian Empire, during the respective governments of Pietro Tradonico and Lothair I.[1]
This document was one of the first acts to testify to the separation between the nascent Republic of Venice and the Byzantine Empire: for the first time the Doge, on its own initiative, undertook agreements with the Western world.
However, the pact was more symbolic because it reiterated the agreements that had been already made in the past between the two empires. It concerned the rights of land use and administration of justice.
It is also a valuable document that allows to know precisely the territory of the ancient Venetian ducat. The boundaries thus coincided with the old limit of the lagoons (the most extensive of currents), and the mainland reached even the Abbey of St. Hilary and the area of the ancient Altinum.
