The Liburnians or Liburni (Ancient Greek: Λιβυρνοί)[1][2] were an ancient tribe inhabiting the district called Liburnia,[3][4][5] a coastal region of the northeastern Adriatic between the rivers Arsia (Raša) and Titius (Krka) in what is now Croatia. According to Strabo's Geographica, they populated Kerkyra until shortly after the Corinthians settled the island, c. 730 BC.[6]
