| First Illyrian War | The First Illyrian War began with Rome's concern with the trade routes running across the Adriatic Sea, especially after the First Punic War. Many tribes of Illyria became united under one queen, Teuta. Teuta responded negatively to the death of a Roman envoy, which prompted Rome to send the two consuls, Lucius Postumius Albinus and Gnaeus Fulvius Centumalus, and an army having been victorious in the First Punic War to rid the Adriatic Sea coastline of Teuta's subjects. As a result, Rome established a protectorate over the Greek towns of Corcyra, Apollonia, Dyrrachium, and Issa, thus gaining a strong footland in the Adriatic Sea region. The war lasted from 229 B.C. to 228 B.C. (references) | ||
| Illyrian emperors | Several emperors of the Roman Empire were of Illyrian origin, or partly or possibly of Illyrian origin. (references) | ||
| Illyrian gods | Illyrian gods are the objects of worship of the Illyrians, an Indo-European people in ancient history who maintained a polytheistic religion. Central to their beliefs was the concept that everything was "born" by Mother Earth, who was represented by the Goddess "Genusus." The name of the goddess is believed to have a relation of the Greek word of "Genesis" which is translated as "the beginning" of an object, or act. Although the Earth was central to the religion of these people, the main god was that of the Heavens or the sky, simply referred to as "Ou". The word has no meaning today in the Albanian language (Albanians are thought to be the most closely related people to the ancient Illyrians). However, up to the Ottoman conquest of the territory, it is believed that "Ou" was used in the first person and translated to "I". Everything around the world can be traced back to "Genusus" and "Ou", especially all other gods. It was believed that "Ou" took "Genusus" as his bride with the promise that his desire was so great that it would eternally pour into her. This legend is supported by the possibility that a caveman looking at the sky would certainly think it was falling to the earth - due to the dome shape. (references) | ||
| Illyrian provinces | Illyrian Provinces (French Provinces illyriennes) were formed in 1809 when Austria ceded with the Treaty of Schoenbrunn its lands Carinthia, Carniola, Croatia southwest of the river Sava, Gorizia and Trieste to France after the defeat at the Battle of Wagram. These territories lying north and east of the Adriatic Sea were amalgamated into the Illyrian Provinces, technically part of France, the capital of which was established at Ljubljana, modern Slovenia. The territory of Ragusan republic, which was annexed to France in 1808, was also integrated into the Illyrian Provinces. (references) | ||
| Illyrian Wars | In the Illyrian Wars of 229 BC and 219 BC, Rome overran the Illyrian settlements in the Neretva river valley and suppressed the piracy that had made the Adriatic unsafe. (references) | ||
| Second Illyrian War | The Second Illyrian War was a war between the Roman Empire and the Illyrians that lasted from 220 to 219 BC. (references) | ||
