List of Illyrian cities
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of Illyrian cities and towns, settlements either founded by Illyrians or located in Illyrian lands or on the border of Illyrian lands. Not all of these settlements were within the bounds of the kingdom of Illyria, as Illyrian tribes such as the Delmatae had settlements outside the kingdom for much of their history. Some of these settlements were in Dalmatia and Chaonia, etc.
