Illyria:
Rich in History, Tradition, and Culture
|




Illyrians distinguished themselves as warriors in the Roman
legions and made up a significant portion of the Praetorian Guard.
Several of the Roman emperors were of Illyrian origin, including
Diocletian (284-305), who saved the empire from disintegration by
introducing institutional reforms, and Constantine the Great
(324-37)--who accepted Christianity and transferred the empire's
capital from Rome to Byzantium, which he called Constantinople.
Emperor Justinian (527-65)--who codified Roman law, built the
most famous Byzantine church, the Hagia Sofia, and reextended
the empire's control over lost territories- -was probably also an
Illyrian
