Talk:Illyro-Roman

Merger proposal
I propose to merge Thraco-Roman, Illyro-Roman (and also redirect there Daco-Roman) into an article Romanization of Illyria, Moesia and Dacia, and expanded. Please comment at Talk:Thraco-Roman. Dc76\talk 12:22, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Justinian, Illyro-Roman
Justinian qualifies for an Illyro-Roman not just because of his Illyrian background(which most historians do agree ), but also in geographic sense, he was born in an area/territory known as Illyricum by the Romans/Byzantines.Ancient and medieval Roman authors used oft Illyricum when they were speaking about Balkans, and the provinces of Dalmatia,Pannonia,Dardania,Moesia Superior were inside the prefecture of Illyricum. Procopius, the famous 6th century Roman historian is a good example, who mentioned oft Illyricum when he was speaking about events that ocurred in the Balkans and that included the area of Justinian's birthplace.

There seem to be some sources that speak of a possible Thracian origin(those authors dont give any good arguments for his Thracian origin nonetheless), but that doesnt mean that Justinian couldn't qualify as an Illyro Roman, because Justinian was born in an area/territory known as Illyria/Illyricum by Roman/Byzantine authors.So thats why I think the part that includes his possible Thracian origin is unessecary to mention in this page.

There seem to be some Bulgarian Nationalists who want to include by all means the part of his Thracian origin, because they want him to be Thracian which then means that he was one of them, so Bulgarian...But that makes no sense. You can add that in the Thraco-Roman page, but not in this Illyro-Roman page. 94.217.236.138 (talk) 22:19, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
