Tariotes
The Tariotes or Tariotae were an Illyrian tribe that lived on the Adriatic coast of Dalmatia, in modern-day Croatia. They are considered part of the Dalmatae. The Tariotes are mentioned in the Classical literature by Roman author Pliny the Elder alone. In Pliny's ''Natural History'' the territory of the Tariotes is called Tariota and is mentioned as an ancient region (''Tariotarum antiqua regio''), while their city is called Tariona, and described as a ''castellum'', i.e. a stronghold. Tariona was located between the Krka River in the north and Cape Ploča in the south, along the coastal area. Tariote territory is also testified by two boundary inscriptions dating back to Roman Imperial times, which were found in the area of Marina. Those inscriptions refer to the boundaries of pastures used by the tribe of the Tariotes. A passage in the ''Libri Coloniarum'' ("Book of Colonies") of the '' Gromatici Veteres'', probably dating back to the 5th century AD, is also considered to rep ...
