History

Ardiaei and other Illyrian tribes were protecting their homelands and resisting to the Romans expansion in Adriatic, so the Romans campaigned against them in the Illyrian Wars. They were viewed as fierce warriors by the Greeks.

In earlier times the Ardiaei feuded with the Autariatae over a salt source near a shared border.The Ardiaei briefly attained military might in 230 B.C. under the reign of king Agron
