 The shipwreck of a 1st century BC Roman amphora laded merchant ship

 During the 2nd and 1st centuries BC, the Roman state expanded across the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea, encountering numerous and hostile Illyrian tribes that rebelled against Roman rule for centuries. In the 9th century AD, Roman rulers divided the Illyrian province into Dalmacia and Panonia.

 On the island of Pag, which Latin sources referred to as Cissa, the Romans came across a powerful Illyrian tribe, the Liburians. Famed seafarers, the Liburians dominated a vast area of the Adriatic Sea during the early centuries of the first millenium before Crist.
