Illyricum

Illyricum

Roman province in the northwestern Balkans formed AD 9 from the three districts of Illyria, Dalmatia, Iapydia, and Liburnia.

Illyricum was important because of the presence of gold mines in the interior and commercial cities on the coast, and because of the passage of the Via Egnatia, which ran from Dyrrachium (modern Durazzo), on the Adriatic, to Byzantium. The name Illyricum was later given to one of the four prefectures established by the emperor Diocletian, including Pannonia, Noricum, Crete, and the whole Balkan peninsula except Thrace.
