Abstract EN

Perhaps the turbulent political and economic conditions experienced by the eastern Adriatic region at the end of the third century BC, and the accompanying hostilities, and the naval attacks launched by the Illyrians against ships and travelers shipsand travelers in the Adriatic sea, which extended to varying distances; it is the means by which Rome justified its intervenenion in the Adriatic region.

after the Illyrians organized themselves into many groups under the leadership of king Agron 265-230 BC, the Illyrians began to achieve political gains, and on this basis Rome launched its war with Illyria their allies in order to maintain peace in the Adriatic sea.

and the assassination of the roman ambassador by Illyria was of the main and real causes of the first Illyria war; betrayal and giving personal benefit on the account of homelands issues also played a leading role in this war.

perhaps this is evident from the position of (Demetrius Varus), who was directly responsible for the start of the second Illyrian war, his utilitarian policy was one of the most important reasons and motives that made that war renewed again, which is the first step towards a collision with Macedonia, the first kingdoms and states of the Hellenistic world.
