The name is Illyria. In antiquity to was a region of the western Balkan Peninsula corresponding roughly to present day Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, southwestern Serbia and northern Albania. It was inhabited by the Illyrians. The Romans defeated the Illyrians in the Third Illyrian War in 168 BC and divided the coastal area of the region into four client republics. It was turned into the province of the Roman Empire of Illyricum in 27 BC. At the end of the Pannonian War (12-9 AD) the Romans conquered the Pannonians, who were the northern neighbours of the Illyrians. They merged Pannonia with the Province of Illyricum. The province was later divided (at an uncertain date) into Pannonia in the north and Dalmatia in the south. In 318 the emperor Diocletian created the Praetorian Prefecture of Illyricum which covered the whole of the Balkan Peninsula south of the river Danube (including most of Greece) apart from Thrace (northwestern Greece, Bulgaria and Romania south of the Danube).
The early settlers of the Italian peninsula were many different groups and spoke many different languages. Here are most of them: the Latins (including the first Romans), the Umbrians, the Etruscans, the Ligurians, the northern mixed peoples, the Celtic tribes, the Illyrians, the Oscans and the Greek.
