In this short contribution, the author pays attention to the settlements attested in the Illyrian section of Strabo's Geography (VII 5, 1-12).They are about 20 in total and present different labels and entities, from thefortresses to the coastal towns of Mediterranean style. As in most regions, itemerges that, despite the importance ascribed to the idea of polis within thework, what is missing is a final consistency in choosing and listing the settlements, given that is not interested either in updating or harmonizing theavailable sources. A striking aspect is the absence of the colonies.
