This is a list of ancient tribes in the ancient territory of Illyria (Ancient Greek: Ἰλλυρία). The name Illyrians seems to be the name of one Illyrian tribe, which was the first to come in contact with the ancient Greeks, causing the name Illyrians to be applied to all people of similar language and customs.[1] The locations of Illyrian tribes/peoples prior to Roman conquest are approximate as sometimes many wholly different locations are given by ancient writers and modern authors (as in the case of the Encheleans).
After the Great Illyrian Revolt the Romans deported,[2] split,[3] and resettled Illyrian tribes within Illyria itself and to Dacia, causing sometimes whole tribes to vanish and new ones to be formed from their remains, such as the Deraemestae and the Docleatae some of them mixed with Celtic ones (see Celticization). Many tribal names are known from Roman civitates and the number of their decuriae,[4] formed of the dispersed tribes in Illyria.

Tribes in Illyricum and environs in AD 6, the year of the Great Illyrian revolt, post Roman conquest
Location of the Albani 150 AD in the Roman province of Macedon
Albani or Albanoi (Greek: Ἀλβανοί) was an Illyrian tribe whose first historical account, in a work of Ptolemy,[5] places them in modern north-central Albania), in 150 AD in ancient Roman Macedon specifically in Epirus Nova. This places them almost 300 years after the Roman conquest of the region, in the Roman province of Macedon. Albanopolis of the Albani is a place located on the map of Ptolemy and also named on an ancient family epitaph at Scupi (near modern Skopje), which has been identified with the Zgardhesh hill-fort near Kruja in northern Albania. Arbanon is likely to be the name of a district – the plain of the Mat has been suggested – rather than a particular place. An indication of movement from higher altitudes in a much earlier period has been detected in the distribution of place names ending in -esh, that appears to derive from the Latin -ensis (Vulgar Latin -ēsis), between the Shkumbin and the Mat rivers, with a concentration between Elbasan and Kruja. It is not certain if the ancient city corresponds with later mentions of it.[6]
Ardiaei or Ouardiaei (Greek Ἀρδιαῖοι or Οὐαρδαῖοι; Latin Vardiaei[7]), was an Illyrian tribe, residing inland,[8] that eventually settled[9] on the Adriatic coast. Polybius (203 BC–120 BC) writes that they were subdued[10] by the Romans at events that occurred at 229 BC. Appian (95–165) writes that they were destroyed[11] by the Autariatae and that in contrast to the Autariatae had maritime power. In the Epitome of Livy they are said to have been subdued[12] by the consul Fulvius Flaccus.
They were located in present day Montenegro,[13] most likely around the gulf of Rhizon,[14] although Strabo places them in the right bank of the Neretva.[15] Their initial inland residence was located along the Naro River up to the Konjic region,[8] in present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Because they pestered the sea through their piratical bands, the Romans campaigned against them in the events of the Illyrian Wars. They drank heavily and were seen as such by the Greeks.[16]
The Ardiaei were enemies[17] of the Autariatae for a long time over salt[18] source.
The Ardiaei had briefly attained military might, during 230 BC under the reign of king Agron, (an Ardiaean by tribal origin). His widow, Queen Teuta attempted to gain a foothold in the Adriatic but failed due to Roman intervention. Historic accounts hold that King Agron was hired[19] by king Demetrius of Macedonia repel the invasion of Macedonia by the invading Aetolians. The Ardiaei had 20 decuriae.
The ancient geographer, Strabo, lists the Ardiaei as one of the three strongest Illyrian peoples – the other two being the Autariatae and the Dardani.Strabo writes;[20]
"Because they pestered the sea through their piratical bands, the Romans pushed them back from it into the interior and forced them to till the soil. But the country is rough and poor and not suited to a farming population, and therefore the tribe has been utterly ruined and in fact has almost been obliterated. And this is what befell the rest of the peoples in that part of the world; for those who were most powerful in earlier times were utterly humbled or were obliterated, as, for example, among the Galatae the Boii and the Scordistae, and among the Illyrians the Autariatae, Ardiaei, and Dardanii, and among the Thracians the Triballi; that is, they were reduced in warfare by one another at first and then later by the Macedonians and the Romans"
King Agron, son of Pleuratus who belonged to the ruling house of the Ardiaei, disposed of the most powerful force, both by land and sea, of any of the kings which had reigned in Illyria before him.[21]

The Daorsi fought on the side of the Romans providing them with their strong navy abandoning Caravantius. After the Illyrian Wars the Daorsi were given immunity. Their most important city was Daorson.They had 17 decuriae.
Dassareti[35] (Greek Δασσαρῆται) was an Illyrian tribe.They were located between the Dardani and the Ardiaei.[36] Appian of Alexandria wrote in his Illyrian wars that according to the Ancient Greeks, Illyrius, the ancestor of the Illyrians, had a daughter, Dassaro, from whom sprang the Dassareti.[37]

The Enchelei or Sesarethii[43] (Greek Ἐγχελεῖς, Σεσαρηθίους (accusative of *Σεσαρήθιοι)[44]) were an Illyrian tribe.[45] Their name, given by the Greeks, meant "eel-men". In Greek mythology,[46] Cadmus and Harmonia ruled over them. Several locations are hypothesized for the Encheleans: around Lake Ohrid;[47] above Lake Ohrid, north of the Taulantii, which is the most probable;[48] a location after Rhizon;[49] near the Gulf of Kotor.[48]

They had settle west of the Morača river, up to Montenegro's present-day borders with Herzegovina. The Docleatae were prominent for their cheese, which was exported to various Roman provinces within the Roman Empire.[60] They were composed of parts of the Taulantii ,the Pleraei or Pyraei, Endirudini, Sasaei, Grabaei, Labeatae[40] that came together after the Great Illyrian revolt.The Docleatae had 33 decuriae.

Tribes in southern Illyris and Epirus.
Taulantii (Greek Ταυλάντιοι) was the name of a cluster[68] of Illyrian tribes. According to Greek mythology Taulas (Tαύλας), one of the six sons of Illyrius, was the eponymous ancestor of the Taulanti.[69] They lived on the Adriatic coast of Illyria (modern Albania), between to the vicinity[70] of the city of Epidamnus (modern Durrës). This tribe played an important role in Illyrian history of the 4th-3rd centuries BC,when King Glaukias (335 BC- 302 BC) ruled over them. This tribe had become bilingual being under the effects of an early Hellenisation.[25] Taulantii could prepare mead, wine from honey like the Abri.[71]
See also: king Galaurus
Abri (Greek: Ἄβροι) were an Illyrian tribe.[72] They could prepare mead, a wine from honey and were known to the Greeks for that method. They were Taulantii and effected by Hellenisation.[25]
The Parthini or Partheni or Peerthenetai (Greek Παρθῖνοι, Παρθηνοί) [73] were Illyrians , part of the Taulantii[74] who may be placed to the north in the mountainous[75] neighborhood of Epidamnus, and thus, next to the Taulantii. After the death of Philip, king of Macedon, they appear to have been added to the dominions of Pleuratus, an Illyrian prince allied to the Romans.[76] Their principal town was Parthus[77] which was taken by Caesar in the course of his campaign with Pompeius.[78] The double-hilled Dimale, the strongest among the Illyrian places, with two citadels on two heights, connected by a wall,[79] was within their territory. There is no indication, however, of its precise situation, which was probably between Lissus and Epidamnus. Livy (59 BC – 17 AD), mentions[80] two other fortesses: Eugenium and Bargulum. They had been effected by Hellenisation.[25]
Dalmatians, Liburni, Venetic groups, Pannonian groups and Celts in Pannonia
Pannonians (Latin: Pannonii) was a common name for a group of culturally similar tribes cognate to Illyrians, who inhabited the southern part of what was later known as Roman province of Pannonia, south of the river Drava (Dravus), and the northern part of the future Roman province of Dalmatia. The Pannonian tribes appear to have been Celticized.[81][82] Later a number of Pannonians settled in Dacia.[83]
In the 2nd century BC, the Segestani, one of the Pannonian tribes inhabiting the area around Segestica (modern Sisak in Croatia), were attacked without lasting success by consuls Lucius Aurelius Cotta and an unidentified Cornelius. In 35 BC, the Segestani were attacked by Augustus, who conquered and occupied Siscia (Sisak). The rest of the Pannonians were not, however, definitely subdued until 9 BC, when their lands were incorporated into the province of Illyricum after the Great Illyrian Revolt, conducted by the future emperor Tiberius.
In AD 6, the Pannonians, together with the Dalmatians and other Illyrian tribes, revolted, and were overcome by Tiberius and Germanicus, after a hard-fought campaign which lasted for three years. Leaders of the Great Illyrian Revolt were Bato of the Breuci tribe and Pinnes[84] from Pannonia and another Baton of the Daesitiates from Dalmatia. After the rebellion was crushed in 9 AD, the province of Illyricum was dissolved, and its lands were divided between the new provinces of Pannonia in the north and Dalmatia in the south. The date of the division is unknown, most certainly after 20 AD but before 50 AD.
The Pannonian tribes (Greek Παννόνιοι) inhabited the area between the river Drava and the Dalmatian coast. Early archaeology and onomastics shows that they were culturally different from southern Illyrians, Iapodes, and La Tene peoples commonly known as the Celts though they were later Celticized. However, there are some cultural similarities between the Pannonians and Dalmatians. Many of the Pannonians lived in areas with rich iron ore deposits, so that iron mining and production was an important part of their economy before and after the Roman conquest. The Pannonians did not have settlements of importance in pre-Roman times, apart from Segestica[85] that was actually Celtic. Ancient sources (Strabo, Pliny the Elder, Appian of Alexandria) mention few of the Pannonian[86] tribes by name, and historians and archaeologists located some of them. Those tribes were;
Amantini (Greek Ἄμαντες) was the name of an Pannonian[87] Illyrian tribe.[88] They greatly resisted the Romans but were sold as slaves after their defeat.[89] The Amantini were close to Sirmium[90] but the tribe was probably present in southern areas as well due to the existence of a city name Amantia.[91] This would make the south Amantini the southernmost Illyrian tribe.
Breuci (Greek Βρεῦκοι) were Illyrians of the subtribe of Pannonians.[86] They greatly resisted the Romans but were sold as slaves after their defeat.[89] They started receiving Roman citizenship during Trajan's rule. It is likely that the name of the north-eastern Bosnian city Brčko is derived from the name of this tribe.[92] A number of Breuci settled in Dacia.[93]
Colapiani was the name of an Illyrian[94] tribe. The Colapiani were created from the Pannonian Breuci[95] along with the Osseriates and the Celtic Varciani.[citation needed] They lived in the central and southern White Carniola, along the Kupa river, and were mentioned by Pliny the Elder and Ptolemy.[96] The archeologists Jaro Šašel and Dragan Božič have attributed the Vinica material culture to Colapiani,[97] but opinions are divided.[98]
Daesitiates or Daezitiates were an Illyrian tribe that lived in what is today Bosnia and Herzegovina during the time of the Roman Republic. Along with the Maezaei, the Daesitiates belonged to the Pannonians.[99] They were prominent from the end of the 4th century BC up until the beginning of the 3rd century AD. Evidence of their daily activities can be found in literary sources, as well as in the rich material finds that belong to the autochthonous Middle-Bosnian cultural group. Because the Daesitiates were present during Roman rule in the western Balkans, their name can be found in many inscriptions and historical works of ancient writers. During the 19th century, scientific interest in the Daesitiates materialized whereby research was focused in parts of Upper Bosnia. However, all research efforts have yet to provide a complete analysis of the Daesitiates. The Daesitiates were unquestionably one of the main components of the Illyrian ethno-cultural complex that stretched from the southern Adriatic to the Danube in the north. They specifically lived in the centre of the Illyrian West-Balkan and Pannonian world.
After nearly three centuries of political independence, the Daesitiates (and their polity) were conquered by Roman Emperor Augustus. Afterwards, the Daesitiates were incorporated into the province of Illyricum with a low total of 103 decuriae.[100]
Ultimately, the widening gap between the Roman government and its subjects in Illyricum led to the Great Illyrian revolt that began in the spring of 6 AD. The Daesitiates were the first to revolt under the leadership of Bato I and were soon joined by the Breuci. Other natives were recruited to fight against the Marcomanni while the rebellion swiftly overtook enormous areas of the western Balkans and the Danube region.[101] The role of the Daesitiates in the rebellion was immense, which contributed to their ultimate disappearance.
Pirustae or Peiroustai or Pyrissaioi or Piroustai[102] (Greek Πειροῦσται[103] or Πυρισσαῖοι[62]) were an Pannonian Illyrian[104] tribe that lived in modern Montenegro. According to some sources, they had also lived in territories outside modern-day Montenegro, but, the majority of archaeologists, including famous British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans, the Pirustae had lived in northern Montenegro, around present-day Pljevlja and that they were prominent miners. Their prominence in mining has been seen in epigraphic monuments from Dacia's mining regions.[105] Pirustae along with other Pannonians and Illyrians like the Sardeates were later settled in Dacia (modern-day Romania).[55][106]
Scirtari or Scirtones were an Illyrian tribe.[107] Scirtari were part of the Pirustae.[52] The Scirtari had 72 decuriae.
Glintidiones or Glinditiones (Greek Γλιντιδίωνες) were an Illyrian[108] tribe. Glintidiones may have been part of the Pirustae.[52] The Glintidiones had 44 decuriae.
Ceraunii or Keraunioi (Greek Κεραύνιοι) was the name of an Illyrian tribe.They lived close to the Pirustae[109] in modern Montenegro.Ceraunii were part of the Pirustae.[52] They had 24 decuriae.[110]
Siculotae or Sikoulotai (Latin Siculotae) were an Illyrian tribe.[111] The Siculotae were part of the Pirustae.[52] The Siculotae had 24 decuriae.
Segestani (Greek Σεγεστανοί) were Illyrians of the subtribe of Pannonians.[112]
Maezaei or Maizaioi or Mazaioi (Greek Μαζαῖοι) were Illyrians of the subtribe of Pannonians.[113] The Maizaioi had 269 decuriae.
Andizetes, also referred to as Andisetes (Greek Ἀνδιζήτιοι) were a small Illyrian tribe that lived in the territory of present day Bosnia and Herzegovina. Not much is known about this tribe except that it is found on the list of Illyrian tribes made by ancient Romans, against whom the Illyrians put up a heroic resistance, perhaps best portrayed during the Great Illyrian Revolt for freedom-the legendary Baton's uprising.The personal name of Andes, popular among the Illyrians of southern Pannonia and much of northern Dalmatia (corresponding roughly with modern Bosnia and Herzegovina), as it seems, derived from the name of this tribe. Another variant of this widespread personal Illyrian name is Andis.[114] They started receiving Roman citizenship during Trajan's rule.[115] They were Pannonians.[116][117]
Azali (Greek: Ἄζαλοι) was the name of an Illyrian[118] tribe.After the Great Illyrian Revolt the Azali were deported by the Romans.[2] They were Pannonians.
Ditiones (Greek: Διτίωνες) were Illyrians of the subtribe of Pannonians.[86] The Ditiones had 239 decuriae.
Jasi was the name of an Illyrian tribe[88][119] subtribe of Pannonians.
Osseriates[120] (Latin Oseriates) The Osseriates along with the Celtic Varciani and the Colapiani were created from the Pannonian Breuci.
Illyrii Proprie Dicti[121] were the Illyrians proper, so called by Pliny (23–79 AD) in his Natural History. They later formed the Docleatae. They were the Taulantii, the Pleraei or Pyraei, the Endirudini, Sasaei, Grabaei, Labeatae. Illyrians proper were also some of the native communities of Roman Dalmatia.[122]
Dardanians prior to Roman conquest
"Atintani" redirects here. For the ancient Greek tribe, see
Atintanians.
Atintani (Greek: Ατιντάνι) were a tribe in Illyria, north of Via Egnatia. Appian (95 – 165 AD) mentions them close to Epidamnus.[123] During the Illyrian Wars, the Atintani went over to the Romans and according to Appian, Demetrius of Pharos tried to detach them from Roman authority. The Atintani seem to have originated from the obscure, perhaps Thracian Tynteni, only attested in coins.[124] The Atintani were ruled by the Thracian dynasty of the Peresadyes.[125]
In the early historical sources from the 8th century BC the Liburnians were recorded by name or as separate ethnic group and as early as the 6th century BC Hecateus noted that the Liburnians were composed of also Caulici, Mentores, Syopii and Hythmitae, probably narrow tribal communities. Later, in the 3rd century BC, Callimachus mentioned Mentores, Hymanes, Enchealae and Peucetias as those who once had been a part of them, Ismeni were also recorded as one of their communities.[142]
These tribes (Iapygian or Messapic tribes) did not dwell in Illyria but in the heel of southern Italy. They could have Illyrian origins[143] or some sort of link with Illyria.
