Bardylis II is the only attested Illyrian king after Glaucias' death.
He may have succeeded Glaucias on the throne as the grandson of Bardylis I, or alternatively he may have reigned independently after his father Cleitus somewhere in Dassaretia, in an area located nearer the Macedonian border.
[1] At that time Bardylis II was evidently the most powerful king in Illyria who could unite the largest number of Illyrian tribes under his rule.
[4] A feat of these dimensions could be achieved only through war against Macedonia and, apparently, also against the heirs of Glaucias.
Bardylis II might have absorbed or inherited Glaucias' Taulantii State.
