Teuta, Roman Envoys and the Ancient Retellings of the Adventure of the Pirate Queen
Teuta acted as a regent for her step-son after King Agron’s death and rose to the Ardiaean throne. Teuta proceeded to continue her husband’s expansionist aspirations. However, Teuta’s most feared forces, probably even more than her powerful navy, were the Illyrian pirates. It was also the Illyrian pirates which would be the cause of her downfall.
