This is a History of Bosnia And Herzegovina . PRE-SLAVIC PERIOD See Also: History of Bosnia and Herzegovina (until 958) Bosnia has been inhabited at least since Neolithic times. in the late Bronze Age , the Neolithic population was replaced by more warlike Indo-European tribes known as the Illyres or Illyrians . Celtic migrations in the 4th and 3rd Century BCE displaced many Illyrian tribes from their former lands, but some Celtic and Illyrian tribes mixed.Malcolm, Noel (1994). Bosnia A Short History. New York University Press. ISBN 0-8147-5520-8. Concrete historical evidence for this period is scarce, but overall it appears that the region was populated by a number of different peoples speaking distinct languages. Conflict between the Illyrians and Romans started in 229 BCE , but Rome wouldn't complete its annexation of the region until 9 CE . In the Roman period, Latin-speaking settlers from all over the Roman Empire settled among the Illyrians and Roman soldiers were encouraged to retire in the region. Christianity had already arrived in the region by the end of the 1st Century , and numerous artifacts and objects from the time testify to this. Following events from the years 337 and 395 when the Empire split, Dalmatia and Pannonia were included in the Western Roman Empire . The region was conquered by the Ostrogoths in 455 , and further exchanged hands between the Alans and Huns in the years to follow. By the 6th century, Emperor Justinian had re-conquered the area for the Byzantine Empire . The Slavs, a migratory people from northeastern Europe, were subjugated by the Eurasian Avars in the 6th Century , and together they invaded the Eastern Roman Empire in the 6th and 7th Centuries , settling in what is now Bosnia and Herzegovina and the surrounding lands. The Serbs and Croats came in a second wave, invited by Emperor Heraclius to drive the Avars from Dalmatia. MEDIEVAL BOSNIA See Also: History of Bosnia and Herzegovina (958–1463) |
