Delminium facts for kids

Delminium was an old city built by the Illyrians. It was the main city for a group of people called the Dalmatae. Today, you can find its remains near Tomislavgrad in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

People lived in the area of Tomislavgrad long before the Illyrians built Delminium. We know this because smooth stone axes from the Neolithic (Stone Age) period have been found there. This period was a very long time ago, from about 4000 BC to 2400 BC. These tools show that people were living and working in this area thousands of years ago.
