List of settlements in Illyria

This is a list of settlements in Illyria founded by Illyrians (southern Illyrians, Dardanians, Pannonians), Liburni, Ancient Greeks and the Roman Empire. A number of cities in Illyria and later Illyricum were built on the sites or close to the sites of pre-existing Illyrian settlements, though that was not always the case. Some settlements may have a double entry, for example the Ancient Greek Pola, Roman Pietas Julia, and some toponyms are reconstructed.

Illyrian settlements

Liburnian cities

  • Pasinium – unknown position in Ražanac – Vinjerac – Posedarje range

Roman cities

A very small part of the Roman province of Italia included Istria.

Mislocated

  • Thermidava, placed by Ptolemy on the Lissus-Naissus route. The toponym is most probably a misreading of a settlement which most scholars in contemporary research locate near present-day Banat, Serbia.
  • Quemedava mentioned by Procopius in Dardania.
