Abstract

Two historical sources, dating from antiquity, represent the memory of the ancient city of Bylazora. Those are the texts of Polybius and Titus Livius. Polybius describes the key role of the city and its territory, as a favourable zone for the incursions of the Dardanians into Macedonia. On the other hand, T. Livy states that the Macedonian king Perseus in 168 invited the Bastarnae to come to Bylazora for negotiations about their involvement in the war against Rome.
