Lesson plan
Liburnia
, before the Roman expansion and conquest of Italy Liburnia ( ) in ancient geography was the land of the Liburnians, a region along the northeastern Adriatic coast in Europe, in modern Croatia, whose borders shifted according to the extent of the Liburnian dominance at a given time between 11th and 1st century BC. The heartland of ancient Liburnia is commonly assumed to have been roughly coterminous with modern Kvarner Gulf region of Croatia, along the northeastern Adriatic coast. Domination of the Liburnian thalassocracy in the Adriatic Sea was confirmed by several Antique writers, but the archeologists have defined a region of their material culture to be more precisely in northern Dalmatia, eastern Istria, and Kvarner.
