  Illyricum (Roman province) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Roman province of Illyricum was the Roman province established in place of the former kingdom of Illyria.
In 10 AD, after a revolt of Pannonians and Dalmatians was crushed in 9 AD, the province of Illyricum was dissolved, and its lands were divided between the new provinces of Pannonia in the north and Dalmatia in the south.
The province was also the starting point of the Via Egnatia, the great Roman road that ran from Dyrrachium (modern Durazzo), on the Adriatic, to Byzantium in the east.
