But we can't say they were an Empire!
anybody can copy and paste any document or use photoshop and manipulate a map.... what are your sources? provide links? and the scholars and their credentials ? to see if they offer a valid premise? what is a definition of an empire? so what if they helped each other? that doesnt mean anything when they were under the roman map for 1000 years according to Edward Gibbons who wrote the rise/fall of roman empire...
I wish you could have given another link besides wikipedia because anyone can go into edit mode and change the information written in the free internet encyclopeda... So its just going to take time looking through all this information and validating all of the links, I will have an interesting source from Edward Gibbons who wrote the Decline of the Roman Empire dispelling the Illyrian empire myth. And maybe you can validate this information with other sources... Nobody in Roman Britian recognized an illyrian empire.. LOL.
I never said that Illyria was an Empire , it was just union of tribes and they had one name, Illyria which means the Land of Free
