• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book analyzes the organization of the Venetian military structure in the Mainland Dominion in the Early Modern Period, particularly from the point of view of the everyday management of the army by rural communities. It explains the evolution of the Venetian military structure using an economic perspective, underlining that the military needs of the Republic had to be constantly moderated by the economic effects of the military requests on the local rural economy, but also considering the economic opportunities coming from military contracts.
