This is alist of settlements in Illyria founded byIllyrians (southern Illyrians,Dardanians,Pannonians),Liburni,Ancient Greeks and theRoman Empire. A number of cities inIllyria and laterIllyricum were built on the sites or close to the sites of pre-existing Illyrian settlements, though that was not always the case. Some settlements may have a double entry, for example the Ancient GreekPola, RomanPietas Julia, and sometoponyms are reconstructed.
Thermidava, placed by Ptolemy on theLissus-Naissus route. The toponym is most probably a misreading of a settlement which most scholars in contemporary research locate near present-dayBanat, Serbia.[94]

^Lepper 1988, p. 138:Stuart Jones noted the Dacian - sounding place - name ' Thermidava ' on the Lissus Naissus road : but see Miller col . 557, for the evidence on this. The place was most probably called ' Theranda ' and there is no evidence for any settlement there of pro-Roman Dacians now, nor is it very likely. (..) Most scholars, however, have supposed, as did Cichorius, that we are now north of the Danube, somewhere in the Banat area where the local inhabitants are frightened that they may lose their recently acquired 'liberty'.
