      I didn't want to bother you Sovius, I type like an idiot my post # 180 had many random questions that I had been asking myself recently. South-Eastern Europe went through a "dark age" period, its hard to find information on this period.

      Thank you for your goodwill, time and consideration. I didn't expect an answer from anyone and so soon, looking back at my post my queries seem unjust and rude.

      I'm reading the thread you suggested, I'm enjoying it. Thank you Sovius.

          I am confused..? Who exactly are Illyrians?

          Okay so this might be simple to answer but... here goes nothing!

          I am confused about who exactly are Illyrians..
          Would ethnic Macedonians fall under the Illyrian group?
          Same with Albanians, Dacians, Bosniaks, Thracians, etc.?

          So in general, can anyone here explain too me who the "Illyrians" are, and what ethnic groups have a ties too them today??

          I read through the whole Wikipedia page, and still feel confused... Who the "Illyrians" are ethnically today..

          Thank you!
          Please explain in simple words too, if possible.
          It could be I am just tired, and there is probably a thread on this already, but I just feel the need to ask for my own self.
          (Being 17, makes it easier when I talk to people then just read )
          ⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽⍽
          Okay, so before getting upset, or thinking I am joking, or telling me to go off and browse through the website for the answer, Just answer what I have to type please! (I understand stuff better when I converse with it instead of just reading!)

              Thank you! I will look through it, just wanted to know what the thought was here,

              I get so confused about some stuff like this, everyone has their own "sense" of who is what in the Balkans.

                    Random question.

                    This has nothing to do with the thread or the site (sorry), the bars of what is believed to be Orichalcum found in a wreck off Sicily.

                    Have they released the results of the make up of the alloy yet? The exact make up of the alloy.

                    Has there been any recent attempt to recreate a Orichalcum sword? What is the Brinell hardness and and the ultimate tensile strength of the material?

                    I didn't know where else I could ask this question, did not want to create a separate thread for it either as its for my own personal interest and the alloy is now irrelevant.

                      I mean, create your own thread, its general discussions

                      I do not mean to sound mean, and I know I am ignorant lol but I have no idea what you just asked.

                        Most of the other threads relating to the Illyrians have been consolidated into this one.

                        They're an ancient people who lived in the western part of the Balkans. All of the nations who live there today have some ties to them, but in varying degrees. Have a read through this thread then come back to us with your own opinion, it may generate some more discussion on the topic.

                          Ludovicus Cerva Tubero (Croatian: Ludovik Crijević Tuberon, Italian: Ludovico Cerva Tuberon, his surname is also written Cervarius; 1459–1527), was a Ragusan historian, known for his historiographic work on the Jagiellon period in Hungary.

                          Tuberon's chief work Writings on the Present Age (Commentaria temporum suorum) was first published in 1603 and was printed a few times.

                            Thomas G. Jackson wrote an interesting book ("Dalmatia, the Quarnero and Istria with Cettigne in Montenegro and the Island of Grado. Clarendon Press. Oxford, 1887") on coastal Dalmatia in the mid nineteenth century - quote:

                            "The Italian spoken in Dalmatia before that time was not the Venetian dialect; in some parts it had a distinct form of its own, in others it resembled the form into which Latin had passed in the south of Italy or Umbria, and it was only after 1420 that it began to assimilate itself to the Italian of Lombardy and Venetia. At Ragusa it never became Venetian at all, and to this day resembles rather the Tuscan dialect than any other, while the patois of the common people is a curious medley of Italian and Illyric, with traces of rustic Latin, Vlach or Rouman."
