I/47 ILLYRIAN 700 BC - 10 AD

The lllyrians inhabited the lands east of the Adriatic (modern Albania and Yugoslavia). Their most aggressive period was from the creation of a powerful Illyrian state by Bardylis I around 394 BC, until the subjugation of most tribes by the Romans in 148 BC. Illyrian foot were typically tough, clean-shaven, wore a tunic decorated with vertical stripes, a helmet (sometimes crested), were armed with spear, javelins and short curved cutting sword, and carried a shield of moderate size (round and convex for southern tribes, flat and oval for northern). Their few horsemen were javelin skirmishers, initially shieldless. Foot skirmishers used javelins and slings, and possibly bows. Banditry and piracy were respected professions as was mercenary soldiering for other states. Reference: Armies of the Macedonian and Punic Wars D. Head.
