The Pirate Queen who fought the Roman Empire

In the third century BC, Teuta, Queen Regent of the Ardiaei, led a kingdom known for piracy to great victories and expansion along the Adriatic coast. But their actions drew the attention of a growing power in the Mediterranean, Rome. The First Illyrian War pitted the might of the new Roman navy against a Pirate Queen. It is history that deserves to be remembered.
