The Old Kingdom of Illyricum (Illyrian Iberic: Antique Imperium de Illyrica) also known simply as the Kingdom of Illyricum or the Kingdom of Ballacia was a long standing nation in modern day New Illyricum from around 2400 BC to 24 AD. Founded by King Illyrioc I on the Illyric Peninsula around the city of Illyricus in 2400 BC, the nation grew strong fighting its smaller neighbors such as the Kingdom of Rome and the Kingdom of Etruricum. The kingdom was Ibericised by an invasion from Iberic tribes in 1488 under eventual King Titus I. In 1016 the capital was moved to Julianerea by King Julius III after he killed his predecessor Epheus I at the Battle of the Via Samallia. The capital would be moved by to Illyricus in 336, where it would remain until the Romanyan Empire conquered Illyricum in 24 AD.
