Histri in the Iron Age, c. 5th century BC.

The Histri or Istri[1] (Ancient Greek: Ἴστροι)[2] were an ancient people inhabiting the Istrian Peninsula, to which they gave the name Histria. Their territory stretched to the neighbouring Gulf of Trieste and bordered the Iapodes in the hinterland of Tarsatica.[3] The Histri formed a kingdom.[3][4]
