They DEFIED Rome - The Kingdom of Epirus

The Kingdom of Epirus, located in the northwest of Ancient Greece, was known for its beauty and rich culture. Its main city, Dodona, was famous for the Sanctuary of Zeus. Inhabited since the Hellenistic era by tribes such as the Molossians, Thesprotians, and Chaonians, Epirus expanded its influence under the Molossian dynasty, descendants of Achilles. Its interactions with Macedonia shaped its politics and aristocracy, while the Pyrrhic Wars with Rome exemplified the cost of hard-fought victories. Despite initial independence and strategic alliances, Epirus was ultimately incorporated into the Roman Empire in 167 BC, leaving a lasting historical and cultural legacy.

Greece better History, best citys, best Kingdoms

Actually in 332 BC Alexander of Epirus uncle of Alexander the Great led an army into Italy at the request of the Greek city of Taras. He made a treaty with Rome and then proceeded to attack the Italic nations of the Bruttians and Lucanians who heavily defeated and killed him at the battle of Pandosia. So the Epirotes made 2 attempts at victory in Italy and both failed. Could have been mentioned that Pyrrhus had elephants an animal the Romans hadn't seen before.

Words written by Romans, not the Epirotes/Greeks.

[@keatonburton5636]

@@bombasticbadassbrigade3552 The point is that the phrase was attributed to Pyrrhus.

Molosët, referred as Molossians in this misinformative video; Kaonët, referred as Chaonians in this misinformative video; Thesprotët, referred as Thesprotians in this misinformative video; Otherwise known as Epiriotët, are 3 ILLYRIAN tribes that formed Epiri (Epirus)! Even Dodona is located in Përmet, a nowdays city of Albania as descendants of Iliria (Illyria)! STOP LYING THE PEOPLE!!!
