Name (English): Ballaios
Short name: Ballaios
Short Description: "Ballaios (Ancient Greek: Βαλλαῖος; Latin: Ballaeus; ruled c. 167 – c. 135 BC or c. 195 – c. 175 BC) was an Illyrian king of the Ardiaei. Ballaios was not mentioned by any ancient writers. Ballaios is considered to have been a powerful and influential king as testified by the abundance of his silver and bronze coinage found along both coasts of the Adriatic.

His silver issues are rare, but bronze coins (without the royal title) occur on Hvar, both in single finds and in hoards, and at Rhizon in a different series bearing the royal title. The coins of Ballaios were widely imitated in the region, sometimes so crudely that they are unintelligible." - (en.wikipedia.org 31.01.2020)
