Albanopolis

Albanopolis was an ancient city located in the Roman province of Macedon, specifically within Epirus Nova, and inhabited by the Illyrian tribe known as the Albanoi. The city is believed to correspond to the modern-day areas of Zgërdhesh or Krujë, though its precise location remains debated among scholars. The city's historical significance is highlighted by its mention in Ptolemy's Geographia, as well as a Latin funeral inscription discovered near Skopje, dating to the end of the 1st century CE. This inscription links an individual to Albanopolis, suggesting the city's prominence during that period. While the ancient city flourished during the Roman imperial period, its exact features and structures remain a topic of ongoing archaeological inquiry.
