 left material proofs from their time. On the slopes of the mountains which circle Tomislavgrad, Illirains built their forts, 36 of them. Those forts served as watchtower or forts against the enemy. There are also many graves of Illyrians which means that they cared about their dead. Same as forts, graves are dating from Bronze and Iron Age to Roman conquest of Delminium (Tomislavgrad). In the graves of dead Illyrians, jewellery and items which the dead used, were found.
Another inhabitants, except Illyrians, were Celts. They brought higher culture, crafts and most importantly better arms. But soon, Celts have been asimilated as Illirians, since ther was only small number of them.
As Romans conquered terittory of Illirain tribe Ardiaei, and so, Delmataes and their tribal union were last bastion of Illyrian freedom. Dalmataes attacked Roman wards near Neretva, Greek merchant towns and Roman friendly Illyrian tribe Daors. Illyrians upgraded their settlement into strong fort and surround their capital with wreath of smaller forts. It is assumed that, during that time, 5.000 Dalmataes lived in Delminium.
In 167 BC Illyiran forts were unable to stop Roman legions; after Romans conquered whol Adriatic coast southern from Neretva and after state of Ardieaeis was destoyed, Dalmataes were unable to avoid conflit with Romans. In 156 BC, first conflict between Dalmataes and Romans occurred. It ended next year resulting in Dalmataes defeat. Roman generals, Figulus and Conrelius Scipio Nazica conquered, destroeyed and burned Delminium. Reports of writers during that time say that Delminium was "large city", almost inaccessible and impregnable. Romans trowed lighted arrows at wooden houses, burned the city, conquered it and destroyed it. After various rebellions led by Dalmataes and three war between them and Romans, their land was finally conquered by Romans in 9 AD.
