This items is named after Teuta (Illyrian: *Teutana, 'mistress of the people, queen') was the queen regent of the Ardiaei tribe in Illyria, who reigned approximately from 231 BC to 228/227 BC.  The Ardiaei were once of the most powerful and influential tribes in Illyria, and Teuta’s real power and prowess lay in her ability to strategically partner with allies and conduct negotiations.  In one famous story, a Roman delegate started to yell at Teuta during a meeting. Without blinking an eye, she had him killed, marking the beginning of the First Illyrian War. Although Teuta’s forces eventually lost to Rome, her troops caused severe damage to the Roman Empire. And like with so many other great female leaders, not many stories survived that depict her actual life and accomplishments as a ruler.
