     Rome sent forces across the Adriatic in 229 and 219 to suppress intense piracy centered on the Illyrian tribe of the Ardiaei — and the political consequences were minimal. The Ardiaean monarchy, whose warships had caused serious trouble in the Straits of Otranto, was punished and greatly reduced in power; Rome also gained as informal 'friends' several Greek cities on the Illyrian coast and a couple of tribes a bit farther inland, all of which had been threatened by the Ardiaei.

     Athenaeus of Naucratis, in his work "The Dinner Sophists" […] mentions that Illyrian nation Ardiaei possessed 300,000 prospelatae, bondmen, “who are like Helots", dependent agricultural population of the Lacedaemonian state.
