HISTORY OF ILLYRIAN BOSNIA

THE LAND BETWEEN THE ILLYRIAN SEA AND THE PANNONIAN PLAINS



This book is not merely a chronology of events. It is an attempt to discern, through the dust of centuries, the face of a country that has always been more than a geographical concept. Bosnia and Herzegovina, situated at the crossroads of great civilizations, has often been observed through the prism of more recent historical events. But its foundations are deeper. They reach back to a time when the name “Bosnia” had not yet been written down, while the spirit of its people had already been forged in mountain stone and coastal sea. This is the story of Illyrian Bosnia-a story of continuity, resistance and statehood that has lasted for three thousand years.
