History of Albania
The
history of
Albania
emerges from the
pre-history of the Balkan states
around 3000 BC, with early records of
Illyria
in
Greco-Roman historiography
. The modern territory of Albania had no counterpart in the standard political divisions of
classical antiquity
. Rather, its modern boundaries correspond to parts of the ancient Roman provinces of
Dalmatia
(southern
Illyricum
),
Macedonia
(particularly
Epirus Nova
), and
Moesia Superior
. The territory remained under Roman and
Byzantine
control until the
Slavic migrations
of the 7th century. It was integrated into the
Bulgarian Empire
in the 9th century.
