The Tariotes were a subtribe of the Dalmatae,〔A. Mayer, ''Die Sprache der alten Illyrier I (Schriften der Balkankommission, Linguistiche Abteilung XV)'', Wien, 1957, p. 329〕〔S. Čače, ''Ime Dalmacije u 2. i 1. stoljeću prije Krista'', Radovi filozofskog fakulteta u Zadru 40(27), Zadar, 2003, p. 45〕〔E. Catani, ''Arheološko-povijesne bilješke o Castellum Tariona u rimsko doba'', Vjesnik za arheologiju i povijest dalmatinsku 101, Split, 2008, p. 75-86〕 ancient settlers of a part of the eastern Adriatic coast, in modern day Croatia. This tribe is mentioned in the Classical literature by Pliny the Elder alone.〔(The Cult of Diomedes in the Adriatic: ) Complementary Contributions from Literary Sources and Archaeology by Maria Paola Castiglioni (University of Grenoble 2)〕 Their territory began after Liburnian ''Scardona'' (Skradin), spreading in small region directly to the south of Liburnia, and border ran roughly through the middle of the peninsula which Roman sources called ''Hyllus''.〔S. Čače, ''Promunturium Diomedis (Pli. HN 3,141)'', Radovi filozofskog fakulteta u Zadru 35(22), Zadar, 1995-96, p. 21-45〕 This westernmost promontory of the ancient Dalmatian coast lies between Morinje Bay (near Šibenik) in the north-west and Kaštela Bay in the south-east, sheltered in its hinterland by the hills.〔A. Miletić, ''Saltus Tariotarum'', UDK: 930.271(497.5-3 Dalmacija)“653“, p.9〕 Numerous hillforts and their tumuli were found in the Hyllus Peninsula, and most of it were more intensely settled from the end of the second to the middle of the first millennium BC, while evidences point to the settlement of the peninsula during the Late Bronze Age and the older Iron Age.〔A. Miletić, ''Saltus Tariotarum'', UDK: 930.271(497.5-3 Dalmacija)“653“, p. 10〕 From north to the south of the peninsula large fortified settlements (modern: ''Grad'', ''Domazeti'', ''Kosmač'', ''Drid'' and ''Oriovščak'') dominate over a short length, surrounded with a series of smaller hillforts located on more prominent elevations, fortified with dry-stone ramparts, all visually connected. They were raised in relation to overland and maritime communications, which they entirely controlled, and they enabled control over individual pastures, same as the neighboring Liburnian hillforts did. ==Economy== The economy of the Tariotes and other, similar Dalmatae tribal communities on the coast was primary based on livestock husbandry, which associates them with the hillfort lifestyle which would last even after the Roman domination in Dalmatia commenced. With the arrival of the Romans to the province of Dalmatia, historical circumstances, and thus the role of hillforts, changed. They were no longer defensive strongholds from attacks by hostile local tribes, nor sites of resistance to the Roman army. Rome now intervened in the disputes between the tribes and these hillforts lost their military role, but retained their economical role, in the first place to safegurd livestock. In the old Tariote territory, the hillfort centres would not continue to exist through Antiquity, which was the case among the Liburnians. In Liburnia, centres such as ''Nedinium'' (Nadin), ''Asseria'' (Podgrađe, near Benkovac), ''Iader'' (Zadar) continued to exist in Roman times, and the Liburnians retained their ethnic distinctiveness under Rome, while the same did not occur on the neighbouring Hyllus Peninsula. However during the 1st century AD individual Tariote hillforts lived on, and numerous Roman materials were found in them, generally vessels that indicate intense trade between newly arrived Romans settled in ''Pretorium'' (Grebaštica), Marina and ''Tragurium'' (Trogir) and the indigenous Tariotes. Even though hillforts experienced new architectural interventions during the 1st centuries BC and AD, already during the 2nd century AD they had primarily economic significance, while life gradually became oriented toward Pretorium and other Roman centres. The hillforts would be used as shelters for the livestock; some of them serve this function even today. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tariotes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
