Although not much is known about the Illyrians in general, it is well known that the Illyrian tribes inhabited Montenegro in the distant past. The largest tribe were the Docleati, after whom the former kingdom of Duklja was named. In this region, on the shores of Skadar Lake, lived Labeati. In their time, the lake itself was called Lacus Labeatis. They were skilled sailors and shipbuilders.
