(anc. geogr.), a district of Illyricum, extending towards the Adriatic between Istrius on the west, Dalmatia on the east, and mount Albius on the north. Liburni, the people. The apparitors, who at the command of the magistrate summoned the people from the country, were called Liburni, because Liburni generally men of Liburnia. Liburna, or Liburnica (Horace), denoted a kind of light and swift skiffs, used by the Liburnians in their sea-roving or piracy, for which they were noted. Liburnum (Juvenal), a species of litters, made in form of Liburnian skiffs, wherein the noblemen of Rome were carried, and where they sat at their ease, either reading or writing, (Juvenal).
