Oltremarini or Schiavoni = footsoldiers of the Venician and early 18. Century Imperial Habsburgian army.
Recruted from locals at the border erea ( “Grenzer” or in Slav language “Krajina”)

Ranking from Vlachs, Georgians, Transsylvania, Hungary, Dalmatia, Croatia other Slav peoples. Similar like the Pandurs who were cavalry due to riding horses
