Pine tree Savudrija 2
On the coast of the Istrian peninsula in former Yugoslavia, the pine trees come up to the coastline. The name Istria comes from Histri, an Illyrian-Indo-European people who inhabited the west of the Balkan Peninsula. The Roman historian Strabo mentioned them as the inhabitants of this region. They were described by the Romans as a ferocious tribe of pirates, for whom the rocky coast offered a natural protection. In 117 BC, after two wars, the Romans managed to bring this tribe under their authority.
