Illyricum

 

(1) The territory (Illyricum regnum) inhabited by an Illyrian tribe, the Ardaei, which was conquered by the Romans in 167 B.C. In 148 B.C. it became part of the Roman province of Macedonia.

(2) A Roman province probably formed in the second century B.C. (at the very latest, under Caesar in the mid-first century B.C.). It was on the territory of the remaining Illyrian tribes, which were conquered by the Romans at the end of the first century B.C. In A.D. 8, the extremely large province was divided into two parts: Upper Illyricum, or Dalmatia, and Lower Illyricum, or Pannonia.

(3) During the Roman Empire, the name given to a customs district that included the Danubian provinces of Rhaetia, Nori-cum, Pannonia, Dacia, Dalmatia, and Moesia. Under the emperor Diocletian (at the end of the third century), the district was divided into a western section (Illyricum occidentale) and an eastern section (Illyricum orientale). The district had great economic and strategic military significance for the Roman empire.
