Abstract
The article is a summarized overview of the Roman conquest of Illyria, later known
as the Roman province of Illyricum, the predecessor of Dalmatia and Pannonia. ¬Three
Illyrian wars and the defeat of the two Illyrian kingdoms (Agron and Teuta, Demetrius
of Pharos, and Genthius) led to the establishment of Roman Illyria, which increased with further Roman conquests. After the foundation of Aquileia in 181 BC, the Romans began to penetrate the northern Adriatic and southeastern Alpine area, gradually extending their sway in the direction of Pannonia; an important milestone in the history of Illyricum was Octavian’s Illyrian war. Particular attention is paid to the northeastern boundary of Italy (formerly Cisalpine Gaul), which bordered on Illyricum to the east of Emona.
