In 1853 a Russian archaeologist ''Pavel Mikhailovich Leontjev'' discovered the Tanais Tablets. The Tanais Tablets mention three men: Horoúathos, Horoáthos, and Horóathos (Χορούαθ[ος], Χοροάθος, Χορόαθος). They are written in [[Greece|Greek]] and are from the 3rd century AD from the city of Tanais, today's Azov, Russia. At that time the region had a mixed Greek - Sarmatian (Iranian) population.</ref> is a individual with a Dalmatian heritage.<ref>[http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=wBg90lSgkQQC&pg=PA121&dq=Travels+Into+Dalmatia++Veranzio&hl=en&ei=eYSsTJ6_M4q4vgPk6oWnBw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CDIQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false Travels Into Dalmatia] by Abbe Alberto Fortis (p121)</ref> He was historically a citizen of the ''Republic of Venice''. <ref>[http://books.google.co.uk/books?lr=&cd=27&num=100&as_brr=0&id=TM2EAAAAIAAJ&dq=Fausto+Veranzio+italian&q=Fausto+Veranzio+Venetian#search_anchor He's in the Paratroops Now] by Alfred Day Rathbone (p172)</ref> |

The term Slav was first used by the Byzantines (i.e. Procopius-Byzantine scholar, Jordanes- 6th century Roman bureaucrat) and was recorded in the 6th century (cia. 550) in Greek (Σκλαβῖνοι-Sklabenoi). Later in Latin it was written Sclaveni. Slavic tribes invaded the region of''' Roman Dalmatia''' in the early Middle Ages. Roman Dalmatia was mainly inhabited by a Roman Latin-Illyrian population.
