Sesarethus

Sesarethus (Ancient Greek: Σεσάρηθος) was an ancient city in southern Illyria. Stephanus of Byzantium from the 6th century AD reports, citing Hecataeus (6th century BC), that Sesarethos was a Taulantian city, and that Sesarethioi was its ethnicon.^[1][2] The city and the tribal name Sessarethes have been related by modern scholars to the Illyrian tribe of Dassaretii.^[3][4] The variant Sesarethii is also mentioned by Strabo (1st century BC – 1st century AD) as an alternative name of the Enchelei.^[5]
