  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Illyricum 
  a  country  to  the  north-west  of  Macedonia,  on  the  eastern  shores 
  of  the  Adriatic,  now  almost  wholly  comprehended  in  Dalmatia,  a 
  name  formerly  given  to  the  southern  part  of  Illyricum  (2  Tim. 
  4:10).  It  was  traversed  by  Paul  in  his  third  missionary  journey 
  (Rom.  15:19).  It  was  the  farthest  district  he  had  reached  in 
  preaching  the  gospel  of  Christ.  This  reference  to  Illyricum  is 
  in  harmony  with  Acts  20:2,  inasmuch  as  the  apostle's  journey 
  over  the  parts  of  Macedonia  would  bring  him  to  the  borders  of 
  Illyricum. 
 
 
  From  Hitchcock's  Bible  Names  Dictionary  (late  1800's)  [hitchcock]:
