Delminium

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Delminium /dælmɪinəm/ was an ancient Illyrian city.[1] It was the capital of the Dalmatae which was in today's Tomislavgrad, Bosnia and Herzegovina.[2] People lived in The area of Tomislavgrad even before the Illyrians arrived. This is shown by a few polished stone axes from the Neolithic (4000 BC – 2400 BC) period.[3]
