The image of the historical Dardani in the 1st century BC was that of Illyrian barbarians who raided their Macedonian frontier and had to be dealt with. In this context, the name of a people known as the <i><a href="/wiki/Moesi" title="Moesi">Moesi</a></i> appeared in Roman sources. The <i>Moesi</i> are mentioned only in three ancient sources in the period after the death of Emperor Augustus in 14 CE. The name itself was taken from the name of the <a href="/wiki/Mysians" title="Mysians">Mysians</a> in Asia Minor.<sup id="cite_ref-Boteva411_52-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Boteva411-52"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>52<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The choice seems to be related to the fact that the Trojan-era Mysians lived close to the Trojan-era Dardanians. As the name of the <i>Dardani</i> in Roman discourse became linked to the ancestors of the Romans, the actual Dardani began to be covered in Roman literature by other names. After the death of Augustus, their name in connection to the Balkans became a political problem. After the death of Augustus, the new emperor was <a href="/wiki/Tiberius" title="Tiberius">Tiberius</a>, his stepson and the most senior Roman general in the Balkans. As Tiberius had played a key role in the Roman conquest of the Balkans, as emperor he couldn't be portrayed as the conqueror of <i>Dardanians</i>, whose name had been constructed as the name of the mythical progenitors of the Romans. Thus, the decision to create a new name for Dardania and the Dardani was made. Despite this decision and the administrative use of the names <i>Moesia</i> and <i>Moesi</i> for the <i>Dardani</i> and <i>Dardania</i>, the original use of the name persisted by authors like Appian.<sup id="cite_ref-Boteva411_52-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Boteva411-52"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>52<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The name <i>Dardania</i> was not used for several hundred years after this period in an administrative context.

There is, however, another statement in Herodotus, which N. Vulić insists on as clear evidence that in Herodotus' time the territory of the Dardanians was reckoned as Illyrian . It is a passage from the well - known section on the tributaries of the Danube , in which Herodotus says that the river Angrus flows " from the land of the Illyrians " 267 As the Angrus could be either the Southern Morava or the Ibar , and both rivers in their upper courses flowed through Dardania , Vulić's conclusion looks very reasonable . From all we have said above , the evidence of the ancient writers as to the ethnic origin of the Dardanians seems pretty unanimous and its interpretation offers no special difficulties The tradition according to which the Dardanians , like their neighbours the Autariatae and the Ardiaei , were Illyrians , is preserved in Strabo and Appian . It must be an old tradition , from the times when the three tribes were neighbours . In historians before Strabo ( Polybius , Livy ) and in historians who copied from earlier sources ( Justin , Pompeius Trogus ) , there is nothing to contradict that tradition . The mention of the Darda- nians alongside the Illyrians only shows that the name Illyrian , in addition to its wider ethnic sense , very early acquired a narrower political one . According to Herodotus indeed , for whom the name Illyrian could only have its general meaning , the lands north of Macedonia , round the sources of the Southern Morava and Ibar , were inhabited by Illyrians . This fact shows that ancient tradition considered the Dardanians to be Illyrians ."</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-Zahariade-9"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-Zahariade_9-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Zahariade_9-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Zahariade_9-2"><sup><i><b>c</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="#CITEREFZahariade2009">Zahariade 2009</a>, p. 81; p. 92: "Dardania was an Illyrian land by tradition.

Because they pestered the sea through their piratical bands, the Romans pushed them back from it into the interior and forced them to till the soil. But the country is rough and poor and not suited to a farming population, and therefore the tribe has been utterly ruined and in fact has almost been obliterated. And this is what befell the rest of the peoples in that part of the world; for those who were most powerful in earlier times were utterly humbled or were obliterated, as, for example, among the Galatae the Boii and the Scordistae, and among the Illyrians the Autariatae, Ardiaei, and Dardanii, and among the Thracians the Triballi; 316that is, they were reduced in warfare by one another at
