The city of Shkodra was founded in the 4th century B.C. by the Illyrian tribe of Labeats. During this period the city went a rapid economical development, which is testified by the coin production since 230 B.C. From the coin we learn the name of the city at that time, Scodrinon and became the Capital of the Illyrian Kingdom. From the second half of the 2nd century B.C. (year 168) until the time of the reforms of Diocletian, Shkodra was a roman colony and then the Capital City of Prevalitana province. It is approximately around this time when it was an Episcopal headquarter as well.
