History
156 BC under the Romans threw the Dalmatian Illyrians and made them tributary. Dalmatia was established by Emperor Augustus in 8 BC as a province. Thus the Roman reorganization of relationships came on the Balkan Peninsula to the financial statements. Around two decades ago Octavian had knocked down the revolt of some Illyrian tribes. In the years 6-9 AD it came to the last major uprising of the Illyrians, which was suppressed by Tiberius.
The province was initially called by the Romans Illyricum Superium. The Roman Dalmatia far beyond the day designated by the name of Dalmatia region and beyond. It included large parts of Croatia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro and northern Albania. The frontier on the Danube was not part of Dalmatia, but to the provinces of Pannonia and Moesia, which bordered to the north and east. Therefore, in Dalmatia hardly troops were stationed. Capital was situated on the Adriatic coast Salonae.
For the economy of the Roman Empire Dalmatia was mainly as a supplier of wood and metals as well as livestock and crops of importance.
With the new division of the provinces under Diocletian the far south of Dalmatia was separated with Scodra and slammed the new province Praevalitana. Since the division of the kingdom of 395 the province belonged to West Rome. Their eastern boundary was the line of demarcation between the two parts of the empire.
End of the 4th century and again in the 5th century Dalmatia was devastated by the Goths.
