Beroea of Taulantii
Introduction Pyrrhus, when a child, brought to Glaucias, king of Illyria and his wife Beroea for protection and education. - Nicolas René le Jeune Jollain (1732 – 1804) '''Beroea''' () was a Molossian princess who became an Illyrian queen as wife of Glaukias, king of the Taulantii. She came from the ruling Molossian Aeacidae dynasty of Epirus. She raised Pyrrhus of Epirus when he was adopted by Glaukias.
Marriage The marriage between Beroea of the Aeacidae dinasty of Molossians, and Glaukias of the Taulantian tribe of Illyrians, probably points to long-standing barbarian connections of the two regions of Illyria and Epirus. Those connections can also be seen in the time of Pyrrhus of Epirus, who was adopted by Glaukias and Beroea, and who took as wives two Illyrians (including Bircenna, daughter of Bardylis II), of whom he was extraordinarily fond.
