Illyricum: A country to the north-west of Macedonia, on the eastern shores of the
Adriatic, now almost wholly comprehended in Dalmatia, a name formerly
given to the southern part of Illyricum
(2 Timothy 4:10) It was traversed by
Paul in his third missionary journey
(Romans 15:19) It was the farthest
district he had reached in preaching the gospel of Christ. This
reference to Illyricum is in harmony with
(Acts 20:2) inasmuch as the
apostle's journey over the parts of Macedonia would bring him to the
borders of Illyricum.
