The Roman–Dardanian wars were a series of conflicts between the Roman Republic and the Kingdom of Dardania, starting in 97 BC with the Roman expeditions against the Dardanian–Mede alliance. The Dardanians resisted Roman occupation until 28 BC after being fully conquered by Marcus Licinius Crassus in the Illyrian wars of Augustus.
