The Illyrians: Kingdoms, Wars and Culture Among the numerous Illyrian tribes, there are some who gained regional importance and formed kingdoms. The East Coast of the Adriatic Sea was dominated by the kingdoms of the Enkelejs (4th century -- 335 bc), the Taulants (335 -- 251 bc) and the Ardians (250 -- 168 bc). These centuries were characterized by many fights with the Ancient Macedonians, in a certain way as a precedent of the bitter actuality ... After that, there were the three Roman -- Illyrian wars between 229 and 167 bc The Romans tried to conquer Illyrian lands, which is explained by Roman authors by the necessity of fighting Illyrian pirats tolerated by Queen Teuta. „This was indeed only a pretext of the Romans in order to begin war, whereas the true reason of Roman conquests were hegemonial ambitions of the Romans"[1] -- an interesting parallel to recent complaints about organized criminality in Albana, which is often an all-to-easy pretext for denigrating the country for some political reason ... The history of the Roman -- Illyrian wars shows the decisive importance of victorious alliances and unity among the different Illyrian tribes, and on the other hand the fatality of treachery and the principle „divide et impera" (divide and rule). The efforts and difficulties of unifying Albania against existential threats is a leitmotiv to be found throughout Albanian history. Kosova in Illyrian times was the Kingdom of Dardania, which linguists link to the Albanian <b>...</b>

Albanians want to claim even the Roman empire as Albanian, by showing that Illyrians became Roman Emperors. The reality is that at a low point in Roman history, barbarians were taken and made into soldiers. And there was nothing glorious about these soldiers. ****** 'Under the Julian emperors, the occidental legions were still composed principally of natives of Italy. From the time of Vespasian that situation gradually ended. The Italians then were assigned principally only to the Praetorian Guard in Rome. The legions were filled from the provinces in which they were stationed; even the Germans, to judge from the evidence of the inscriptions, were enlisted in them in increasing numbers. In one of the inscriptions that has come down to us, a Praetorian speaks just as Vergil has spoken of the barbarian legions. And so it was, according to their blood, but by spirit, custom, and language the legions were now recruited from the national groups of the empire there were already Romanized and were becoming completely so in the service, despite their barbarian origins.' (Hans Delbrück, History of the Art of War: The Barbarian Invasions, p 162) 'The Roman legions continued to exist in name, but their character changed. They declined to a weak militia. Besides such degenerate legions (limitanei), there existed a few others that retained their military efficiency by adopting the system of the barbarian mercenary units. The Joviani and the Herculians of Diocletian are examples <b>...</b>

2500 years ago Herodotus in his history wrote that in the region of today's northern Croatia lives a people who claim to be the cousins of the Medes who live on the region of Elam in today's western Iran: "West of Danube lives the Sikin people (city Sisak below Zagreb), they wear clothing like that of the Medes and Scythians (from city Susa below Zagros Mountians). The boarders of this land stretches almost to Venice on the Adriatic Sea. Sikins claim to have migrated from Media, but how can this be, I cannot understand but in history anything is possible". This fact talks about the connection between the people of todays Iran and Illyrians. This historical Herodotus clearly says, that the same people lived from Indus valley to the Alps. Therefore, Illyrians, Dalmatians, Sarmatians, are the same as Elamates, Medes and Parsis, one and the same roots of the Harahvaiti. Toponyms of rivers, cities, mountains, from Indus river all the way to the Alps confirms these claims. The Harahvaiti tribes lived in the regions of grand valleys from the Alps to the Urals and Himalayas. The fact is, the awareness of the common origin of Croats and Iranians still lives in Croatia to this day, although the real origin of these claims were unknown.

Historical quotes: "Alexander expressed his admiration of Greek culture by encouraging closer ties with Greece. The Great lyric poet Pindar of Thebes composed poems praising Alexander, and he was awarded the title "Filelini", or "Friend of the Greeks". Such an award, incidentally, would acknowledge that Alexander the Macedonian was not a Greek Herodotus tells us that Alexander once went to Oly More..mpus to contend in the Pan-Hellenic contests. Knowing that he was from Macedonia, the Greeks wished to exclude him from the games, saying that only Greeks were allowed to contend, and not barbarians." Edwin E. Jacques The Albanians: An Ethnic History from Prehistoric Times to the Present -- 'What is now called Macedonia was in earlier times called Emathia. And it took its present name from Macedon, one of its early chieftans. And there was also a city Emathia close to the sea. Now a part of this country was taken and held by certain of the Epirotes and the Illyrians, but most of it by the Bottiaei and the Thracians' STRABO 'The Geography' book VII, Fragments (paragraph 11) penelope.uchicago.edu -- "Furthermore.... Thucydides ... classed the Thesproti, the Molossi and other Epirotic groups were not really of Greek ethnicity, then Alexander's mother, a Molossian, was probably not of Greek ancestry. Thus neither Alexander's mother nor his father was Greek". John Shea Macedonia and Greece: The Struggle to Define a New Balkan Nation ISBN 0786402288 -- "... Greek culture and history <b>...</b>

A video about Queen Teuta, the mighty queen of the Greek tribe of Illyria. We can see that Teuta's name is widely used in the Greek language while in Neo - Albanian (created in 1912 by Italy's Expansionism in Balkans these ages) there is no refer of that name. It clear that Teuta was a mighty Greek Queen and made the Greek tribes of Illyria strong and powerful during the ages of her reign. HISTORY: Queen Teuta of Illyria was an Illyrian queen and regent who reigned approximately from 231 BC to 228 BC.She belonged to the tribe of Ardiaei like her husband Agron. After the death of her husband, Agron (250 BC?-231 BC), who established the first kingdom of Illyria, extending from Dalmatia on the north to the Aous River (Vjosa River) to the south with Skoutari as its capital, his widow, Teuta, acted as regent for her young stepson Pinnes. Teuta's first decision was to start piratical raids. Attempting this, she attacked Epidamnus (modern-day Durrës, Albania) and fortified the city, but Phoenice further south surrendered. While her Illyrian ships were off the coast of Sarandë, they intercepted and plundered some merchant vessels of Rome. Encouraged by this success, Teuta's pirates extended their operations southward into the Ionian Sea, westward along the coast of Italy, and were soon feared as the terror of the Adriatic. The seat of her throne was in Risan, (in modern Montenegro). For more history come here: en.wikipedia.org © Copyrighted by xIllyrianWarriorx's crew. ©

Kosovo Dogs Identity Crisis A famous Illyrian Sheepdog breeder in Kosovo talks about the future of this breed... Apr. 18 - Just two months after Kosovo declared independance from Serbia a new political row is brewing. The Shar Mountain dog was first registered by the FCI (Federation Cynologique Internationale) in 1939 and known as the Illyrian Shepherd dog after the ancient name of the region. After the disintegration of Yugoslavia, Macedonia requested that the name of the breed change to Macedonian-Yugoslav shepherd dog. Now, since Kosovo's declaration of independence from Serbia, breeders and owners in Kosovo believe that the dog should reclaim it's original title as the Illyrian Shepherd dog. Hayley Platt reports. Illyrian Sheepdog or Shar Mountain dog comes from the Shara Mountian Region and its a heritage to Albanians from Illyrians, the breed befor was called Illyrian Sheepdog the name was changed by Dr. Pavlovic to Sarplaninac in 1957, without consulting with Albanians wich where the largest breeders.

Mirdita has a great glorious history. It has lived since in the period of Noelit. Based on archeological excavation Mirdita has Illyrian origin Later on Miridta is involved in principality of Arber that has been mentioned as the first mediaeval Albanian State 1190-1216. As the founder of this state is known Progoni and later on Gjini and Dhimiter. Nderfandina is known as the most important center of this principality. For this was spoken clearly by the emblem of Arber found carved on a stone in the Catholic Church of Saint Maria. Foreign Scholars have written much more about Mirdita. One of the famous British writers Edit Durham has written Embelem of Mirdita has been as a sun with its beams.

In their desire to prove that Albanians have a civilization, they refer to the Illyrian emperors of Rome. In reality, these emperors were generals elected by barbarian soldiers, and it was at this time that the Roman Empire declined. ******* 'Emperors elected by the soldiers (193-284). Growth of the Power of the Army. -- From this time for nearly a hundred years the emperors of Rome were chosen by the soldiers, and the government of Rome was consequently in great confusion. You remember that it was by the army, after all, that Julius, and afterwards Augustus, had gained their power. But when they had gained it, they wished to use it with the consent of the people, and keep it quietly without having to look to the soldiers to help them. Augustus, however, had not been able to do so altogether; he had kept some soldiers, the Praetorian Guards, in Rome; and, as you have seen, these soldiers sometimes settled who should be emperor. Still, upon the whole, the emperor was chosen by the Senate, and not by the soldiers.' (Mandell Creighton, History of Rome, p 103-4) 'This state of things lasted while the Empire was at peace, and the emperor lived generally in Rome, and was the chief magistrate of the state. But now things were changing, and the emperor must be the leader of the armies.' (Mandell Creighton, History of Rome, p 104) 'The soldiers were now the most important part of the state, and they would no longer take for their leader anyone whom the Senate sent them.'

A video that shows the origins of the Greek's ancestors the Pelasgians. The Pro Hellenic nation. Illyrians were considered Greeks and descendants of Pelasgians. The name Pelasgians (Ancient Greek: Πελασγοί, Pelasgoí, singular Πελασγός, Pelasgós) was used by some ancient Greek writers to refer to populations that preceded the Hellenes in Greece, "a hold-all term for any ancient, primitive and presumably autochthonous people in the Greek world." In general, "Pelasgian" has come to mean more broadly all the autochthonous inhabitants of the Aegean lands and their cultures before the advent of the today's Greek (descedants) . This is not an exclusive meaning, but other senses require identification when meant. During the classical period enclaves under that name survived in several locations of mainland Greece, Crete and other regions of the Aegean. Populations identified as "Pelasgian" spoke a language or languages that at the time Greeks identified as Greek, and all the ancient writers described the Pelasgians as Greeks. A tradition also survived that large parts of Greece had once been Pelasgian before being Hellenized. These parts generally fell within the ethnic domain that by the fifth century was attributed to those speakers of ancient Greek who were identified as Ionians. Illyrians were also a descending tribe of the Pro Hellenic Nation of Pelasgians. For more information go here: en.wikipedia.org © Copyrighted by xIllyrianWarriorx's crew. ©
