Sardiatae

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

TheSardiataeorSardiates(alternatively:Sardeatae,SardeatesorSardiotai) were anIllyriantribethat lived inDalmatia,in thePlivavalley around the area ofJajceandŠipovo,in present-dayBosnia and Herzegovina.[1]They are mentioned byPliny the Elder,who locates them in theconventus iuridicusofSalonae,and reports that they had 52decuriae.[2]They are also mentioned byPtolemy,[3]and in theLibri Coloniarum( "Book of Colonies" ) of theGromatici Veteres(c. 5th century AD) along with theTariotes.[4]

The Sardiates are documented, along with other Illyrian tribes like thePirustaeandBaridustae,in the epigraphic material ofAlburnus MaiorinRoman Dacia,a mining town where several Illyrian peoples moved by the time ofRoman emperorTrajan.A great number of inscriptions were recently found reporting the tribal name of the Sardiatae, which were produced after they moved to the new town in Dacia from their ancient tribal areas in Dalmatia.[5]AcollegiumSardiatensium/Sardiatarumis also attested in Alburnus Maior.[6]The existence ofcollegiaof the Sardiatae and of theBaridustaecertainly suggests a location of those communities within or near the mining district.[7]
