Popis: Središnja tema rada usmjerena je na udio Drnišana u mletačkim prekomorskim vojnim postrojbama tijekom 18. stoljeća (Fanti oltramarini – pješaci i Croati a cavallo/Cavalleria Croati – konjanici). Rad je zasnovan na raščlambi gradiva pohranjenoga u arhivu Archivio di Stato di Venezia. Raščlamba dokumenata pokazuje da su u brojčanom smislu Drnišani činili jednu od zavičajnim podrijetlom vrlo brojnih skupina u mletačkom pješaštvu i konjici. Kontinuirano su prisutni tijekom cijeloga 18. stoljeća, a ponajprije se bilježe u hrvatskom konjaništvu. Podrobno su istraženi vremenski okvir njihova djelovanja odnosno spominjanja u izvorima, dobna struktura, fizičke karakteristike, udio članova pojedinih obitelji u vojnoj službi, kao i dužina trajanja vojne službe. Raščlamba pokazuje kako su vojnim postrojbama u kojima su djelovali Drnišani zapovijedali istaknuti časnici zavičajem iz Dalmacije i Boke, a razvidno je i da su postrojbe bile izrazito mobilne i raspoređivane diljem mletačkih kopnenih i prekomorskih stečevina. U prilogu rada donosi se cjelovit pregled svih do sada istraženih drniških vojnika u pješačkim i konjaničkim snagama Mletačke Republike u 18. stoljeću.
During the early modern period, and particularly in the period of Veneto-Ottoman wars in the seventeenth and the eighteenth century, the backbone of the Venetian overseas army forces made units called Fanti oltramarini and Croati a cavallo, recruited primarily from the Venetian acquisitions from Istria to Albania and Greece. In this article, the central research topic is related to the proportion of the denizens of Drniš in the army units mentioned above during the eighteenth century. The article is based on the analysis of the sources kept in the Archivio di Stato di Venezia (archival series: Inquisitori sopra l'amministrazione dei pubblici ruoli), which keeps full lists of military complement of such units according to their regiments and companies for the period under research. The analysis of the documents shows that the denizens of Drniš made a particular group of soldiers among the numerous groups defined by their homeland origin within the units of Venetian infantry and cavalry. They were continuosly present during the whole eighteenth century, particularly noted in the ranks of elite Croatian cavalry. Chronological frame of their activity and mentioning in the sources, age structure, physical characteristics, family belonging and role of particular families in military service, as well as duration of military service, have been discussed in details. The analysis shows that the denizens of Drniš served in units commanded by prominent military commanders who were by their origin mostly from Dalmatia and Boka Kotorska, and it is evident that such units (companies and their regiments as a whole) were extremely mobile and deployed all over Venetian terrestrial and overseas acquisitions. At the end of the article it is concluded that the problematics of the proportion of the Croats in Venetian military units, in this particular case of those soldiers who were by their origin from Drniš, because of rich sources, still leaves a lot of space for future research and scholarly analysis. As an appendix to the article is given full list of all hitherto identified soldiers from Drniš in infantry and cavalry units of Venetian Republic in the eighteenth century.
