  Roman Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The expansion of this Roman territory beyond the borders of the initial city-state of Rome had started long before the state organization turned into an Empire.
The Illyrian tribes revolted and had to be crushed, and three full legions under the command of Publius Quinctilius Varus were ambushed and destroyed at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in AD 9 by German barbarians under the leadership of Arminius.
Governing a vast territory, the Romans developed the science of public administration to an extent never before conceived or necessary, creating an extensive civil service and formalized methods of tax collection.

 Illyria and Illyricum - HighBeam Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Among the Illyrian peoples were the tribes later called the Dalmatians and the Pannonians; therefore Illyria is sometimes taken in the widest sense to include the whole area occupied by the Pannonians, and thus to reach from Epirus N to the Danube.
The Illyrians were much affected by the Celts and mingled freely with them; the inhabitants of the later Rhaetia were a compound of Illyrians and Celts.
The southern Illyrians were finally conquered (35-34 BC) by Augustus—a conquest confirmed by the campaigns of 29-27 BC Illyricum was expanded by conquests (12-11 BC) of the Pannonians.

 Dalmatia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Its capital was Delminium (location of which is unknown); its territory stretched northwards from the river Narenta (Neretva) to the river Cetina, and later to the Kerka (Krka), where it met the confines of Liburnia.
The southern duchies of Pagania, Zahumlje, Travunia and Duklja, whose territories spread much further inland and southward than the current Dalmatia does, were self-ruled by their Slavic population that was mixed pagan and Christian, and also quite likely mixed Croat and Serb.
The doubtful allegiance of the Dalmatians tended to protract the struggle between Venice and Hungary, which was further complicated by internal discord Due largely to the spread of the Bogomil heresy, and by many outside influences.

 Galerius   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
He served with distinction as a soldier under Aurelian and Probus, and in 293 at the establishment of the Tetrarchy, was designated Caesar along with Constantius Chlorus, receiving in marriage Diocletian's daughter Valeria, and at the same time being entrusted with the care of the Illyrian provinces.
In 296, at the beginning of the Persian War, he was removed from the Danube to the Euphrates; his first campaign ended in a crushing defeat, near Callinicum, which lost Mesopotamia to Rome.
Mesopotamia was returned to Roman rule and even some territory east of the Tigris, which marks the greatest extension of the Roman Empire in the east.

 History of Croatia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The provinces occupied by the Croats were already peopled by Illyrian and Celtic tribes as Roman domains.
Friendly terms were maintained, however, and together they made war against the common enemy, the Avars, conquered them and finally established their own state.
In Sigismund's time, Croatia was severly tried by the wars with Venice, and those against the Turks, who invaded Croatian territory in 1414-15.

The Romanian territory was inhabited in ancient times by the Dacians, an Indo-European people.
The use of this uniform Daco-Romanian dialect extends well beyond the borders of the Romanian state: a Romanian-speaker from Moldova speaks the same language as a Romanian-speaker from the Serbian Banat, indicating a relatively recent migration to the northern territories.
The Slavic influence was first due to the migration of Slavic tribes, which traversed the territory of today's Romania during the formation of the language.
