Summary/Abstract: Venetian State Archives (Archivio di Stato di Venezia) hold an archival fund named Inquisitori sopra l’amministrazione dei pubblici ruoli that contains rich information on the eighteenth-century military formations, officers and soldiers who originated from Eastern Adriatic. These Venetian overseas military formations were depending on the era, current war events and Venetian military-political needs stationed and active in the wider Eastern Adriatic area, in Veneto, as well as in Venetian possessions in today’s Greece. This study focuses on military formations commanded by three Kotor aristocrats and Venetian military officers, Frano Buća, Gabrijel Vraćen and Nikola Paskvali who were active in overseas regiments in the early eighteenth century. We analyse registers of officers and soldiers from these units and publish, in the annex, transcriptions of some of the relevant registers.
