Dardani

The Dardani ( /ˈdɑrdənaɪ/; Ancient Greek: Δαρδάνιοι, Δάρδανοι, Δαρδανίωνες;Latin: Dardani) was a tribe that occupied the region of Dardania. . Located at the Thraco-Illyrian contact zone, their identification as either an Illyrian or Thracian tribe is uncertain. Their territory itself was not considered part of Illyria by Strabo. The term used for their territory was (Ancient Greek: Δαρδανική), while for other tribes had more unspecified terms, such as (Ancient Greek: Αὐταριατῶν χώρα) for the Autariatae. Other than that, little to no data exists on the territory of the Dardanii prior to Roman conquest, especially on its southern extent.
