Book excerpt: Illyria is the name given to the ancient region of the Balkans on the Adriatic coast from which most historians of the Balkans believe modern Albanians descend. This illuminating work by the celebrated archaeologist, Arthur Evans, examines the lives of the ancient Illyrians and contains many penetrating insights into the region. Drawing on his extensive travels in the area in the 1880s, Ancient Illyria presents for the first time Evans' original analysis of the diverse archaeological sites of the region to construct a full and fascinating history. Never before published as a single volume, this classic work is still the best account and contains the most detailed research into the subject. Fully illustrated and including pictures of some Roman inscriptions which were later destroyed during the Serbian occupation of Kosovo, this invaluable guide to the archaeology and history of ancient Illyria is an essential text for all historians and everyone interested in the Balkans.
Download or read book The Illyrians written by John Wilkes and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1996-01-09 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than a thousand years before the arrival of the Slavs in the sixth century AD, the lands between the Adriatic and the river Danube, now Yugoslavia and Albania, were the home of the peoples known to the ancient world as Illyrians. This book, now available in paperback, draws upon the considerable archaeological evidence that has become available since the Second World War to provide an account of the origins, culture, history and legacy of the Illyrians. John Wilkes describes the geography of Illyria and surveys the region in the prehistoric, Greek, Roman and medieval periods. He discusses Illyrian art, material, culture, religion and customs. A chapter examines the Illyrian language, of which little trace survives, and its connection with other Indo-European languages. Professor Wilkes also scrutinizes the linguistic evidence for the Illyrians' relatedness to other peoples - Thracian, Italic, Greek and Celtic. He concludes with a discussion of a possible survival of an Illyrian native culture in the Roman and Byzantine periods.

Download or read book The Excavation of the Prehistoric Burial Tumulus at Lofkend Albania written by Lorenc Bejko and published by Cotsen Institute of Archaeology Press. This book was released on 2015-12-31 with total page 1178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The burial tumulus of Lofkend lies in one of the richest archaeological areas of Albania (ancient "Illyria"), home to a number of burial tumuli spanning the Bronze and Iron Ages of later prehistory. Some were robbed long ago, others were reused for modern burials; few were excavated under scientific conditions. Modern understanding of the pre- and protohistory of Illyria has largely been shaped by the contents of such burial mounds. What inspired the systematic exploration of Lofkend by UCLA was more than the promise of an unplundered necropolis; it was also a chance to revisit the significance of this tumulus and its fellows for the emergence of urbanism and complexity in ancient Illyria. In addition to artifacts, the recovery of surviving plant remains, bones, and other organic material contribute insights into the environmental and ecological history of the region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The little-known story of a fierce rebellion against the Romans:“A very good read for anyone interested in ancient military history and historiography.” —The NYMAS Review In the year AD 9, three Roman legions were crushed by the German warlord Arminius in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. This event is well known, but there was another uprising that Rome faced shortly before, which lasted from AD 6 to 9, and was just as intense. This rebellion occurred in the western Balkans—an area roughly corresponding to modern Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, Montenegro, and parts of Serbia and Albania—and it tested the Roman Empire to its limits. For three years, fifteen legions fought in the narrow valleys and forest-covered crags of the Dinaric Mountains in a ruthless war of attrition against an equally ruthless and determined foe, and yet this conflict is largely unknown today. The Great Illyrian Revolt is believed to be the first book ever devoted to this forgotten war of the Roman Empire. Within its pages, we examine the history and culture of the mysterious Illyrian people, the story of how Rome became involved in this volatile region, and what the Roman army had to face during those harrowing three years in the Balkans.

Excerpt: The history of Illyrian warfare spans from the beginning of the 2nd millennium BC up to the 1st century AD in the region of Illyria and in southern Italy where the Iapygian civilization flourished. It concerns the armed conflicts of the Illyrian tribes and their kingdoms in the Balkans in Italy as well as pirate activity in Mediterranean. Apart from conflicts between Illyrians and neighboring nations and tribes, numerous wars were recorded among Illyrian tribes too. Illyrians in ancient sources were renowned warriors when it came to combat. They were known as crafty shipbuilders in ancient times and controlled much of the Adriatic and Ionian Sea using their numerous warships. Illyrians had affective weapons such as the sica, which was a curved-tip sword originating in Illyria but adopted all over the Balkans and later by the Romans. Instances of Illyrians engaged in armed conflict occurred in Greek mythology and specifically in the legend of Cadmus and Harmonia, where Cadmus led the Illyrian Encheleans in a victorious campaign against the Illyrians after a divine advice from the Oracle. If the legend is true this war would have occurred around 2000 BC, the time when Cadmus has been claimed to have lived. Illyrian tribes were reluctant to help each other in times of war and even fought amongst each other and they sometimes allied with the neighboring Romans and Greeks: These conflicts happened because of land, pastures and areas of...

This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the annals of history, there are civilizations that emerge from the shadows of time, enigmatic and alluring, leaving behind a legacy that continues to captivate our imagination. Among these enigmatic civilizations lies the ancient land of Albania, shrouded in mystery and rich in historical intrigue. Nestled in the heart of the Balkans, this ancient region bore witness to the rise and fall of illustrious rulers - the Kings and Queens of Ancient Albania, whose stories beckon us to uncover the secrets of their captivating past. Our journey into the enigmatic world of ancient Albania begins with the allure of Illyria, the land that birthed these remarkable rulers. Beyond the pages of ancient texts and the fragments of inscriptions, we embark on a quest to unravel the forgotten chronicles of Illyria's origins and foundations. From the shadowy realms of prehistory to the emergence of tribal confederacies, we are drawn into a world of cultural intermingling and evolving societies. At the heart of this narrative stands Bardylis, a powerful Illyrian king whose name echoes through the annals of history. As we peer into the depths of time, we witness the rise of this ambitious monarch, founder of the Ardiaean Kingdom in the 4th century BCE. His vision and conquests laid the foundation for a kingdom that would endure through the annals of time, shaping the destiny of the land that would later become Albania. Glaukias, a chieftain of the Taulantii tribe, emerges as another key figure in the saga of ancient Albania. His short-lived Illyrian kingdom in the 3rd century BCE left a fleeting but significant mark on the region's history, raising questions about the intricate politics and rivalries of that era. As our journey continues, we encounter Agron, a figure whose legacy intertwines with that of Queen Teuta. Ruling over the Ardiaean Kingdom in the 3rd century BCE, Agron's reign set the stage for his indomitable wife, Queen Teuta, to take the reins of power upon his untimely demise. Her reign would be marked by a conflict with the Roman Republic, a confrontation that would not only shape the course of her kingdom but also leave an enduring mark on the pages of history.
