Teuta Posters and Art Prints

Teuta was an Illyrian queen who ruled over a tribe that inhabited the western Balkans and the Adriatic Sea during the 3rd century BC. She was known for her naval power and her aggressive actions against Greek and Roman ships, which led to conflict with the Roman Republic. Teuta was a skilled military leader and a staunch defender of her people's autonomy and independence, but her piracy ultimately led to her downfall. The Roman Republic sent a fleet to confront her, which resulted in a peace treaty that forced her to limit her maritime activities and pay tribute to Rome. Despite her defeat.

Queen Teuta of Illyria, bravest woman who fight against the Roman Empire.

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.
