400 BC - 1300 AD

  • 4th century BC: The establishment of the Dardanian Kingdom.
  • 2nd century BC: The Roman Empire conquered Illyria in 168 BC. The Central Balkans was prior to the Roman conquest held by Illyrians, Thracians and Celts, while the Kosovo region was specifically inhabited by the Triballi, a Thracian tribe.
  • 87–27 BC: The Dardani settled in the southwest of Triballi area in 87BC. The Dardani were possibly a Thracian tribe of Illyrian influence. Dardanians were defeated by Gaius Scribonius Curio and the Latin language was soon adopted as the main language of the tribe as many other conquered and Romanized. Eastern Dardania was Thracian throughout Roman rule. The Thracian place names survives the Romanization of the region.
  • 2nd century AD:
    • Ulpiana (later Byzantine Justiniana Secunda) is founded, most likely during the rule of Trajan. It was settled by Roman legionaries of unknown descent. The Romans colonized and founded several cities in the region.
    • Florus and Laurus, Constantinopolitan twin brothers that worked as stonemasons, are killed together with 300 fellow Christians after building a Church on the site of a Greek temple in Ulpiana. They were proclaimed Christians martyrs.
    • According to Ptolemy, Dardania was already a separate unit at his time; Dardania becomes a separate province under Diocletian.
  • 284: Emperor Diocletian established Dardania into a separate province out of territory of Moesia Superior with its capital at Naissus (Niš). However, in Ptolemy's Geographia (written in the 2nd century), Dardania is a separate unit.
  • 4th century:
    • 325: Bishops from Dardania and Macedonia Salutaris attend the Council of Nicaea, to deal with the Arian heresy.
    • 343–344: Bishops from Dardania, New Epirus and Old Epirus attend the Council of Sardica.
  • 5th century:
    • Christianity begins to spread throughout the region.
    • 479: Ulpiana is destroyed. King Theodemir sent his son Theodoric the Great with 3,000 soldiers to destroy the city. when the Goth
  • 6th century:
    • 517: A "great barbarian incursion".
    • 518: Earthquake, destroying 24 strongholds in Dardania.
    • fl. 535–565: Emperor Justinian I (r. 527–565) restorated Ulpiana, naming it Justiniana Secunda after founding Justiniana Prima in 535.
    • Slavs are mentioned in the Balkans during Justinian I rule (527–565), when eventually up to 100,000 Slavs raided Thessalonica. The Balkans was settled with "Sclaveni", in relation to the Antes which settled in Eastern Europe. Large scale Slavic settlement in the Balkans begins in the early 580s. The Slavs lived in the Sklavinia (lit. Slav lands).
  • fl. 893–927: the church in Sočanica is, at latest, built during the reign of Bulgar Simeon I. It was in use in the 11th and 12th centuries according to grave finds. In the reign of Grand Prince Uroš II, the site was known as Sečenica and was defended from the Byzantines from the newly built fortress at Galič, protecting the bridge over Ibar and the road to Ras. The site draws continuity with municipium Dardanorum.
  • ca 960: Constantine VII writes the De Administrando Imperio, in which "Serbia" has the city of Dresneïk, among others, possibly modern Drsnik, in Metohija.
