Teuta Queen of Illyria (Mbreteresha e Ilirise) T-shirt Pin

Teuta was indeed a historical figure associated with Illyria, but she was not referred to as the "Queen of Illyria" in her time. Teuta was a queen regnant who ruled over the Illyrian kingdom of Ardiaei during the 3rd century BCE. Teuta's reign is notable for her efforts to expand Illyrian influence and control over the Adriatic Sea through maritime piracy and naval expeditions. However, her aggressive policies eventually brought her into conflict with the rising power of the Roman Republic.
