Ancient Geography, a district of Illyricum, extending towards the Adriatic between Istria 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 generally men of Liburnia—Liburna, or Liburnica (Horace), denoted a kind of light and swift skiff, used by the Liburnians in their sea-roving or piracies, for which they were noted. Liburnum (Juvenal), was a species of litter made in form of Liburnian skiffs, wherein the noblemen of Rome were carried, and where they sat at their ease, either reading or writing.
