The firs one and the last one scenes represent the "Ardiei", an illyrian tribe.
Anyway, I noticed that some of you confuse the Venetii with the illyrians; they are similar on some aspects, but anyway they are always from 2 different ethnic groups: italics and illyrians.

The most power full of the Illyrian tribes was Bardylis of the Dardanians which would make a great king for them.

Some flags I found that are pretty cool

They are described to be much the same as the Tracians, there infantry is Greek/Barbaric styled and they mostly used Peltast and slingers

(I'm Albanian and we are required to learn about Illyrians.)
 
Yes but the design was very similar if you can find a perfect illyrian weapon go right a head I remember taking photos of some in the Albanian museum but can't find them anymore but Illyrians also used a weapon called a Thika which was boomerang shaped.
 
Exactly they (the weapons) Are the same how the user uses it is different and also explain how any of these examples of how they are used are different "Khukuri are large bellied chopping knives whereas the Sika was curved to get around shields and cut." the whole point of combat is to hit them behind the shield. which is also what i said they are boomerang shaped.

We should also stop because it's probably getting annoying for people
