The former strecthed from the mouth of the Drin river on the north to the Karaburun peninsula on the south, thus encompassing the larger part of today Albania and bordering Illyricum to the north.

Epirus Nova (Illyria Graeca) lies to its north (now forming much of the territory of Albania except the northernmost districts). AD c.600 - 1204: Epirus is taken from the Eastern Roman empire by Slavic migrant settlers. It is retaken by the Romans in 916 and lost again, to Bulgaria, in 988.
