{{History of Dalmatia}}
The '''Dalmatae'''<ref>Δαλμάται in [[Medieval Greek]].</ref> or '''Delmatae''' were an ancient people who inhabited the core of what would then become known as [[Dalmatia]] after the [[Roman Empire|Roman]] conquest - now the eastern [[Adriatic]] coast in [[Croatia]], between the rivers [[Krka (Croatia)|Krka]] and [[Neretva]]. The Delmatae are mostly classed as an [[Illyrians|Illyrian]]<ref>The Cambridge Ancient History Vol. 11: The High Empire, AD 70-192 by Peter Rathbone, page 597, "... One such place was Delminium, from which the Illyrian Delmatae took their name, attacked more than once by Roman consuls ..."</ref> tribe, although for most of their history they were independent of the [[Illyrian kingdom]] which bordered to the southeast of them.
 
The '''Delmatae''', alternatively '''Dalmatae''', during the Roman period, were a group of [[Illyrian tribes]] in [[Dalmatia]], contemporary southern Croatia and western [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]]. The region of Dalmatia takes its name from the tribe.
==Culture and Society==
 
The Delmatae appear in historical record for the first time in 181 BC, when upon the death of their ruler [[Pleuratus III]] of the Illyrian kingdom, they refused to accept the rule of his son, [[Gentius]] and seceded. They expanded and came to include coastal Illyrian tribes like the [[Tariotes]], the Hylli and the Nesti and increased their territory to the north against the [[Liburni]]. Conflict with Roman expansionism and its local allies in the eastern Adriatic began in 156–55 BC. The [[Roman–Dalmatae Wars]] lasted until 33 BC when [[Octavian]] (the later Emperor Augustus) installed Roman hegemony in Dalmatia. Local instability and minor rebellions continued in the [[Dalmatia (Roman province)|province of Dalmatia]] and culminated in the [[Great Illyrian Revolt]] in Dalmatia and closely linked [[Pannonia]] in 6 AD. The revolt, which lasted for three years, involved more than half a million combatants, auxiliaries and civilians on both side. In the aftermath, some Delmataean communities were relocated in the northern [[Sandzak]] region and others were resettled in parts of [[Carinthia]] to provide labor for the Roman mines. The defeat of the revolt began the integration of Dalmatia which in turn led to the [[romanization]] of the region by the early Middle Ages.
Archaeology and onomastic shows that the Delmatae were akin to eastern Illyrians and northern Pannonii.<ref>The Illyrians by J. J. Wilkes, 1992, ISBN 0-631-19807-5, Page 70, "... on Pannonia (1959) and Moesia Superior (1970).

Only their production of weapons was rather advanced. Their elite had the build stone houses only, but numerous Delmatic herdmen yet settled in natural caves, and a characteristic detail in their usual clothing was the fur cap.

== History ==
Their nomadic society had a strong patriarchal structure, consisting chiefly of shepherds, warriors and their chieftains. Their main jobs had been the extensive cattle breeding, and the iterative plundering of other surrounding tribes and of coastal towns at Adriatic. The early independent Delmatae had been completely illiterate{{Citation needed|date=September 2009}}, and the first inscriptions there appeared since the Roman conquest.
{{See also|Illyrian Wars}}
 
The Delmatae appear in historical record in 181 BC. The death of [[Pleuratus III]] of the Illyrian kingdom and the succession by his son [[Gentius]] led the Delmatae to not recognize his rule and secede altogether. The [[Daorsi]], who lived to the south of the Delmatae did the same. Over the centuries, the Delmatae and Ardiaei were among the Illyrian groups which expanded their territory northwards at the expense of the [[Liburni]]. They Delmatae may have been originally pushed towards the coast because of Celtic migrations in [[Pannonia]] Strabo writes that the territory of the Delmatae was divided into an inland (present-day [[Tropolje]]) and a coastal region by the Dinaric Alps. Their capital settlement [[Delminium]] was located close to present-day [[Tomislavgrad]].{{sfn|Wilkes|1996|p=188}}
==Roman conquest==
{{Main|Illyrian Wars}}
There were some iterative Roman conflicts with the Delmatae lasting for 160 years. The main reason was the perpetual aggressiveness of nomadic Delmatae against all their neighbours (''Liburni, Daorsi, Ardiei'', etc.), and also towards the [[Issaean federation]]{{Citation needed|date=September 2009}}, Greek-led Roman allies in central Adriatic islands, and so their pacification appeared inevitable. Delmatae land was mostly a rocky calcareous country with many pathless mountains, ideal for infinite guerilla wars; thus Delmatae erected{{Citation needed|date=September 2009}} there about 400 stony forteresses and 50 major citadels against Romans.<ref>The Illyrians by J. J. Wilkes, 1992, ISBN 0-631-19807-5, page 203, "... the later Siscia (Sisak), in the same year that the Romans first attacked the Delmatae. The general scarcity of references to Pannonians may be a reflection of their subjection to the Scordisci. ..."</ref>
 
The [[first Dalmatian war]]{{Citation needed|date=September 2009}} in 156 BC – 155156–155 BC finished with the destruction of capital [[Delminium]] by consul [[Publius Cornelius Scipio Nasica Corculum|Scipio Nasica]]. The [[second Dalmatian war]]{{Citation needed|date=September 2009}} was fought in 119–118 BC, apparently ending in Roman victory as consul [[L. Caecilius Metellus]] celebrated triumph in 117 BC and assumed his surname [[Delmaticus]]. The [[third Dalmatian war]] 78 BC - 7678–76 BC finished with the capture of [[Salona]]<ref>[http://books.google.com.au/books?id=iOWS4i5X9fgC&pg=PA229&dq=Delmatae++ancient+Illyria&hl=en&ei=1TI8TJLLNtGHkAW3g92kAQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CDgQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=Delmatae%20&f=false The Illyrians by John Wilkes p.196]</ref> (port Solin near modern city [[Split (city)|Split]]) by the proconsul [[C.

During the Roman Civil war of 49 BC - 44 BC, the Delmatae (led{{Citation needed|date=September 2009}} by [[Versos]] and [[Testimos]]) sided with [[Pompey]] and continuously fought against the Caesarian generals [[Aulus Gabinius|Gabinius]] and [[Vatinius]]. The fourth and final conflict occurred 34 BC - 33 BC during Octavian's expedition to [[Illyricum (Roman province)|Illyricum]] because of their iterative revolts, and finished with the capture of the new Delmatian capital- [[Soetovio]] (now [[Klis]]). The last revolts of Delmatae under their federal leader [[Baton (Delmatae leader)|Baton]], against Romans were in 12 BC and the [[Great Illyrian Revolt]] in 6-9 AD; both also failed and finished by a terminal pacification of bellicose Delmatae.

The major collective deity of Delmatic federation was their pastoral god 'Sylvanus' they called [[Vidasus]].<ref>The Illyrians by J. J. Wilkes, 1992, ISBN 0-631-19807-5, page 247, "...

A strong weapons cult was very specific for the patriarchal Delmatae, and in their masculine tombs different weapons are widely present (that is rare in neighbouring peoples e.g. Liburni, Iapydes, etc.). Their usual tombs were under the stone tumuli of [[kurgan]] type. After the classic Roman reports (Muzic 1998), nomadic Delmatae were extremely superstitious, and they had a primitive panic dread{{Citation needed|date=September 2009}} from all celestial phenomena: any view on the night stars was them forbidden in the fear of a sure death, and in the case of solar or lunar eclipses they repeated tremendous collective howling because of the immediate world ending, made hysterical suicides etc.

==Linguistic affinity==
{{Main|Illyrian languages}}
The ancient Dalmatian language was part of the [[Illyrian languages]], which were spoken in the western part of the Balkans.<ref name="boardman">{{cite book|last=Boardman|first=John|title=The prehistory of the Balkans and the Middle East and the Aegean world, tenth to eighth centuries B.C.|publisher=[[Cambridge University Press]]|year=1982|series=The Prehistory of the Balkans|volume=3|pages=866|isbn=0-521-22496-9|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=vXljf8JqmkoC}}</ref>
The name Dalmatae is connected with the [[Albanian language|Albanian]] word ''delmë'', which means sheep in English.<ref name="Wilkes 1995 244"/> During the Celtic settlements in the Balkans the Dalmatian language was partly influenced by the [[Celtic language]] regarding personal names and toponyms.<ref name="boardman"/>
 
Their nomadic society had a strong patriarchal structure, consisting chiefly of shepherds, warriors and their chieftains. Their main jobs had been the extensive cattle breeding, and the iterative plundering of other surrounding tribes and of coastal towns on the Adriatic.
The original language of the early Delmatae is scarcely known save a few toponyms noted by the Romans. Since the Roman conquest, town-dwelling Dalmatae were gradually [[Romanized]], but shepherds in the countryside were assimilated more slowly and only partially. After the collapsed of the Roman Empire, Dalmatian citizens continued to partly speak the Old Dalmatic Romance language (intermediary one between [[Italian language|Italian]] and [[Romanian language|Rumanian]]).
 
=== Religion ===
The medieval descendants of pastoral Delmatae in Dalmatian inlands conserved (at least partly) an Eastern Romance tongue (see [[Istro-Romanian language]]) with a large number of Slavic loanwords, called [[Morlachian language|Morlachian dialect]] (Murlaška besida), persisting also in the [[Austrian Empire]]; it was chiefly spoken by 2100 local shepherds around the recent town of Livno up to World War I. Then in [[Yugoslavia]] during 20th century these non-Slavic pastorals under oppression were quickly slavicized. What remains of their language is but a few curious non-Slavic toponyms around the Livno valley, e.g. the [[wikt:rivulet|rivulets]] Ayvatat, Sturba, and mountain peaks Bleynadorna, Brona, Ozirna, Gareta, Mitra, Zugva, Drul, Yenit, Yunch, Chamasir, and others.
