Albanopolis

Albanopolis

Albanopolis was a city in ancient Illyria, the capital of the Albanoi, an Illyrian tribe. The editors of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World tentatively locate Albanopolis at the modern-day village of Zgërdhesh, near Kruja, Albania. [Barrington|49 & notes] It is not certain if the ancient city corresponds with later mentions of it [Wilkes, J. J. The Illyrians, 1992,ISBN 0631198075.,page 279,"We cannot be certain that the Arbanon of Anna Comnena is the same as Albanopolis of the Albani, a place located on the map of Ptolemy"] .
