They occupied the interior of the country on the north between the Arsia (Raša) and Tedanius (perhaps the Zrmanja ) rivers, which separated them from the Liburnians. Their territory formed part of the modern Croatia . They are described by Strabo as a mixed race of Celts and Illyrians , who used Celtic weapons, Tattoo ed themselves, and lived chiefly on Spelt and Millet . They were a warlike race, addicted to plundering expeditions. In 129 BC C. Sempronius Tuditanus celebrated a triumph over them, and in 34 BC they were finally crushed by Augustus . They appear to have had a '' Foedus '' with Rome, but subsequently rebelled. REFERENCES |
