The Pirate Queen who fought the Romans

In the third century BC, Teuta, Queen Regent of the Ardiaei, led a kingdom known for piracy to great victories and expansion along the Adriatic coast. But their actions drew the attention of a growing power in the Mediterranean, Rome. The First Illyrian War pitted the might of the new Roman navy against a Pirate Queen. It is history that deserves to be remembered.

Thank you to the international historians and especially to those of Western Europe and America who tell the true history of the Illyrian peninsula in a neutral way, because the Greek and Serbian states have often tried to manipulate history, of course with the help of Russian politics. Half of my village are still called girls and boys with these names: teuta, agron, dardan, alban, ilir, aferdita ,molos,glauk,Gent ,bardyls (bardhyl),etc Most of the names of gods and myths known as Greek have a meaning or connection with the Albanian language. Even the Greek name- "graeci", in Albanian "women walk" is called a place where women almost dominated and walked barefoot in the mountains and prayed to their god that was Zeus in Albanian Zoti= God. the famous tree "Druidi", in Albanian the “tree knows”a tree that knows everything, so a blessed tree. Troja this name or this word is still used today in the Albanian language which means land, for example when someone has land for sale you can see us in Kosovo table: "troje ne shitje”= "land for sale"🇦🇱🇽🇰

Calling Teuta a "pirate queen" is like today, calling the Russian Putin "devil" from the previous president of USA and "very smart guy" from the present president. The illyrians and their kingdom were the lords of the Adriatic and Jonian seas and beyond, but when the Romans started to get rich, powerful and ambitious, they had to justify their actions to attach and ocupay the neibers. That's how it is today and that's how it was before. The winer writes the history.

Exactly. Also, incredible how they totally have avoided making any movies at all about Illyrians, is as if it's politically decided to keep them mentioned only in the books, where not too many bother to open and read.

The Johnson County War from Wyoming would make a great history video.

I have a suggestion for a topic: the burial of enemy combatants with full military honours. It happens from time to time that a significant opponent (or a less significant one under unusual circumstances) is buried with great respect and incorporating national or religious elements that are not customary to the people performing the duty. Examples that come readily to mind are Manfred von Richthofen, and six crew or the Soviet submarine K-129. Thank you for the most excellent presentation of history that you and Mrs THG produce.

No offense, but a much better idea: Battle of Samar. ( Our fallen deserve the highest honors )

[@blacksmith67]

Agent Washington I imagine that THG is open to more than one suggestion ;)

I have a friend who's a streamer in Canada. One evening I offered to mail him some pumpkin stew I was making, and he seriously considered getting a P.O. box so his viewers could send him stuff. History Guy might consider it too, and I may throw in some pumpkin stew!
