Abstract

The article at hand builds upon research of the portion of soldiers from the Eastern Adriatic shore in Venetian land troops in the early modern period. It is based on the analysis of materials kept in Ar-chivio di Stato di Venezia (fonds Inquisitori sopra l'amministrazione dei pubblici ruoli), which con-tains lists of soldiers in the infantry (Fanti oltramarini) and cavalry (Cavalleria Croati) in the 18th century. It focuses on soldiers from Ljubljana, a city that was not part of Ventian acquisitions. The article concludes with a complete overview of soldiers from Ljubljana in the afore-mentioned troops that have been explored thus far.
