==Örnekler==
Yukarıda bahsedilen örneğin dışında çok sayıda talassokrasi örneği vardır. [[Orta çağ]]da bile talassokrasiler olagelmiştir. Bunlardan belki en bilineni [[denizci cumhuriyetler]] arasında öne çıkan [[Venedik Cumhuriyeti]]dir. Yine [[Ragusa Cumhuriyeti]] de bu kapsamda değerlendirilebilir.

There are many ancient examples besides those mentioned above, such as the Delian League. Aside from this, which was an empire based primarily on naval power and control of waterways and not on any land possessions, the Middle Ages saw its fair share of thalassocracies, often land-based empires which controlled the sea. Among the most famous is the Republic of Venice, conventionally divided in the fifteenth century into the Dogado of Venice and the Lagoon, the Stato di Terraferma of Venetian holdings in northern Italy, and the Stato da Màr of the Venetian outlands bound by the sea:
"This was a scattered empire, reminiscent, though on a very different scale, of the Portuguese and later the Dutch empires in the Indian Ocean, a trading-post empire forming a long capitalist antenna; an empire 'on the Phoenician model', to use a more ancient parallel"[1]
In 7th to 15th century Maritime Southeast Asia, the Srivijaya and later Majapahit empire that controlled the sea lane in Southeast Asia, and exploited spice trade of spice islands as well as maritime trade route between India and China, can be considered thalassocracies.
Nearly contemporaneous, the Republic of Ragusa can be seen as a "thalassocracy", a protégé of Venice.
The Dark Ages (c.500–c.1000) saw many of the coastal cities of the Mezzogiorno develop into minor thalassocracies whose chief powers lay in their ports and their ability to sail navies to defend friendly coasts and ravage enemy ones. These include the variously Greek, Lombard, Angevin, and Saracen duchies of Gaeta, Sicily, Naples, Pisa, Salerno, Amalfi, Bari, and Sorrento. Later, northern Italy developed its own trade empires based on Pisa and especially the powerful Republic of Genoa, that rivaled with Venice (these three, along with Amalfi, were to be called the Repubbliche marinare, i.e. Sea Republics).
