[Freeciv-Dev] Re: (PR#13863) Data: Illyrian nation

["William Allen Simpson" <wsimpson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

<URL: http://bugs.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=13863 >

As promised, here's the result of my research into major pre-Roman
Empire Illyrian cities.  As comments, the founding year (or century),
map coordinates, and alternate city names are on each line.  Whenever a
decision is made on how to automatically change city names, the data
is preserved here for future use....

[nation_illyrian]

name=_("Illyrian")
plural=_("?plural:Illyrians")
groups=_("Ancient"), _("European")
legend=_("Illyrians were Indo-European tribes who appeared in the\
  western part of the Balkan Peninsula before 1000 BC,\
  including the Dalmatians to the north,\
  Corcyra island and Ambracia bay in prehistoric Epirus to the south,\
  mixing with Thracians in Dardania to the east,\
  and settling Messapia across the Adriatic Sea.\
  Illyrian kingdoms were independent for centuries,\
  until conquered by the Roman Republic.")

; listed from legendary founder, until conquered by romans.
; researching turns out to be annoyingly difficult due to
; Albanian apologists opining alternate spellings and "meanings".

; some scattering (as yet unknown) locations within region.
; some cities were captured from the Greeks.
; most cities are Dalmatian, Dardanian, or regions Romans called "Illyricum".
; many cities were destroyed by Romans, and replaced by Latin toponyms.
; use cities founded before Roman conquest.
; use earliest known spellings instead of later replacements.
