## Image Caption

Artist's impression of Teuta, Queen of the Illyrian Ardiaei tribe, leads a pirate expedition against [rome](https://www.worldhistory.org/Rome/). According to Illyrian laws, [piracy](https://www.worldhistory.org/Piracy/) was a legitimate [trade](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/trade/), which led to [war](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/War/) against the [Roman Republic](https://www.worldhistory.org/Roman_Republic/), who did not approve. This image is fictional: We do not know how the historical Teuta looked or dressed.
