Siculotae
The Siculotae (also Sikoulotai) were an Illyrian people in antiquity. The name of the Siculotae is related to the name of the Sicels, a pre-Roman people of Sicily. The toponym ''Sicily'' derives from their name. The Sicels themselves seem to have settled from the Balkans to Italy in the same trans-Adriatic movements of the LBA which created the Iapygian region in southern Italy. The toponym ''Shikjë'' (proposed older form: *Shikëlë) in northern Albania may preserve the name. The fort ''Siklai'' placed by Procopius in Macedonia was likely located in this area of Epirus Nova. Pliny the Elder records a civitatum of the Siculotae with 24 decuriae among the indigenous Illyrian communities in the region of Narona. The civitatum of the Siculotae was created by the Roman after the Great Illyrian Revolt by breaking up larger Illyrian communities into smaller ones. Before the creation of the Roman civitatum, the Siculotae may have been part of the Delmatae and also the Pirustae, who liv ...

Military Colony
A colony is a territory subject to a form of foreign rule, which rules the territory and its indigenous peoples separated from the foreign rulers, the colonizer, and their ''metropole'' (or "mother country"). This separated rule was often organized into colonial empires, with their metropoles at their centers, making colonies neither annexed or even integrated territories, nor client states. Particularly new imperialism and its colonialism advanced this separated rule and its lasting coloniality. Colonies were most often set up and colonized for exploitation and possibly settlement by colonists. The term colony originates from the ancient Roman , a type of Roman settlement. Derived from ''colonus'' (farmer, cultivator, planter, or settler), it carries with it the sense of 'farm' and 'landed estate'. Furthermore, the term was used to refer to the older Greek ''apoikia'' (), which were overseas settlements by ancient Greek city-states. The city that founded such a settlement b ...

Bijaći
Bijaći was a medieval Croats, Croatian village, some northeast of Trogir. The village developed around the church of St. Martha on the site of a former 1st century ''villa rustica'' at Stombrate locality, about half way between Tragurium and Salona, in the hinterland of the Roman veterans' coastal settlement of . Renovated in late antiquity, part of the villa became an early Christian church, which evolved between the 5th and 7th centuries. Following the arrival of the Croats, it is believed that the complex of the villa was transformed into the center of a Duchy of Croatia, Croatian ducal estate, which stretched to the coast, incorporating the Divulje area and the church of St. Vital. During this period, the early church was repaired and rededicated to St. Martha; arguably, the church was a court church of the early Croatian dukes. The earliest mentions of Bijaći date back to 852 (Byaci) in the grant of duke Trpimir I, Trpimir, and 892 (Biaci) to the duke Muncimir's document ...

Sicels
The Sicels ( ; or ''Siculī'') were an Indo-European tribe who inhabited eastern Sicily, their namesake, during the Iron Age. They spoke the Siculian language. After the defeat of the Sicels at the Battle of Nomae in 450 BC and the death of Sicel leader Ducetius in 440 BC, the Sicel state broke down and the Sicel culture merged into Magna Graecia. History Archaeological excavation has shown some Mycenean influence on Bronze Age Sicily. The earliest literary mention of Sicels is in the '' Odyssey''. Homer also mentions Sicania, but makes no distinctions: "they were (from) a faraway place and a faraway people and apparently they were one and the same" for Homer, Robin Lane Fox notes. It is possible that the Sicels and the Sicani of the Iron Age had consisted of an Illyrian population who (as with the Messapians) had imposed themselves on a native, Pre-Indo-European ("Mediterranean") population. Thucydides and other classical writers were aware of the traditions accordi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
