Sažetak
During the second part of the 20th century, modern historiography has taken a keen interest in the historical processes on the Eastern shores of the Adriatic that eventually led to the formation of the province of Illyricum. The information stemming from Appian, Cassius Dio, Caesar, Suetonius, Cicero, Velleius Paterculus etc. has served as the basis for modern analyses of the political, social and military aspect of Illyricum until the integration of indigenous populations of the Eastern Adriatic into the Roman system. Yet, when it comes to Gaius Julius Caesar, lex Vatinia and the effective formation of the province of Illyricum in 59 B.C., this information, although studied in detail, is often contradictory and does not give a clear picture on the extent of Caesar’s imperium. Questions such as whether Caesar commanded over Illyricum as a part of his imperium over the Gauls or not are still considered problematic. However, despite the tendency of modern historiography to revise old theories with a thorough analysis of all the available information, Plutarch and his contribution to the topic have been neglected so far. Therefore, this paper intends to give several key aspects of Plutarch’s information on Illyricum in the middle of the first century B.C., with emphasis on lex Vatinia and Caesar’s governorship of Illyricum. That is, the paper will: 1) analyse the misuse of Plutarch’s information in arguing the circumstances revolving Caesar’s command over Illyricum ; 2) provide new insights on Plutarch’s use of sources when writing about Illyricum in the first century B.C. ; 3) expand on the existing analyses of Plutarch’s (un)consistency of using one information in several of his biographies (with regard to Illyricum) ; and 4) provide new views on Plutarch’s value not only as a source for the history of the first century B.C. but for studying the processes that formed the province of Illyricum.
