Illyricum

Japanese: イリュリクム（英語表記）Illyricum

An ancient Roman province in Illyria, located in the northwestern part of the Balkan Peninsula. It was bounded by the Drilon (now Drin) River in the south, Istria in the north, and the Sauvus (now Sava) River in the east. Its administrative center was Salonae (now Split) in Dalmatia. Originally, the Illyrians had settled here from around the 10th century BC, and had established the Hallstatt culture. With the support of Macedonia, they fought against Rome, but in 168 BC they succumbed to their power. As the Roman Empire developed along the Danube, the province was divided into two provinces, Dalmatia and Pannonia. When the empire was divided in 395, the area east of the Drilon River became part of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire. In the 3rd and 5th centuries, it was invaded by the Visigoths and Huns, and in the 6th century, Slavic tribes invaded the area, and by the end of the 7th century, all of the area was Slavic, except for present-day Albania.

バルカン半島北西部，イリュリアの地に設置された古代ローマの属州。南はドリロン (現ドリン) 川，北はイストリア，東はサウウス (現サバ) 川で限られ，行政中心地はダルマチアのサロナエ (現スプリット) であった。元来この地は前 10世紀頃からイリュリア人が定住，ハルシュタット文化を築いていた。マケドニアの後援でローマと抗争したが，前 168年その力に屈した。属州はローマ帝国がドナウ川に沿って発展するにつれ，ダルマチア，パンノニア2州に分割され，395年の帝国分裂で，ドリロン川以東は東ローマ (ビザンチン) 帝国領となった。3～5世紀には西ゴート人とフン族に侵入され，6世紀から侵入を始めたスラブ族によって，7世紀終りには，現在のアルバニアを除いてスラブ人の地となった。
