 LIBURNIANS were a people who at different times wero prominent on the Adriatic coasts. They were originally, one cannot doubt, one of the homogeneous Illyrian tribes (see ILLYRIA). Living in a barren rocky country along the north-eastern coast of the Adriatic, they devoted themselves to the sea, and were the chief navigators of the Adriatic in tho early period. They settled on the coast of Picenum, where the town of Truentum was always counted Liburnian; and the Greek colonists found them at Corcyra and other places. They were pressed on all sides by other races, but were still a powerful people in the time of Scylax (Scyl., p. 7). The islands that lay along the coast were peopled by them and called by their name. They were a race of pirates, who used swift boats with a large sail. These Liburnian ships became famous when the Romans adopted them in several of their naval wars. The heavy and lofty ships that hud been developed by the later Greek states proved unequal to the light and swift Liburnian boats. The country was incorporated by the liomans in the province of Dalmatia.  LIBYA was a geographical name by which the Greeks usually designated Africa, with the exception of Egypt, although sometimes the continent was thought to be divided between Libya and Ethiopia. Libya enters into the sphere of ancient history only in so far as it came into contact with the civilized races of antiquity, and the present article will touch this point only; the natural features and the ethnology will be found under other headings (see AFRICA). The native tribes came several times into collision with the kings of ancient Egypt. In the reign of Rameses the Great and his successor they invaded the Delta, and various expeditions were made by the Pharaohs into the outlying country, on the south particularly (sec EGYPT). Herodotus mentions one important expedition sent out by Pharaoh Necho (GlO-SOl B.C.), which started from the Red Sea, circumnavigated the continent, and reached the mouth of the Nile after three years absence. The truth of the tale has often been doubted, but one circumstance in which Herodotus himself expresses his disbelief, viz., that as they sailed west they had the sun on their right hand, has in modern times been generally accepted as proving that the voyage was actually made.

The Phoenician colonies on the north coast, Utica, Car thage, etc., beginning between 1000 and 800 B.C., established a powerful and civilized empire in a hitherto unknown part of Libya. Their trading expeditions gave them a wide acquaintance with the geography of the country, even with the Atlantic coast as far almost as the equator; but the contempt with which the Roman conquerors treated the literature of the Carthaginians allowed much valuable material to disappear. The historian Sallust, when praetor of Numidia, was still able to use the Punic records which
