The Ardiaean monarchy, whose warships had caused serious trouble in the Straits of Otranto, was punished and greatly reduced in power; Rome also gained as informal 'friends' several Greek cities on the Illyrian coast and a couple of tribes a bit farther inland, all of which had been threatened by the Ardiaei.

Example: As a result, some of the Ardiaeans are killed by the Celts, while others throw themselves into a river, unable to control their stomachs. Thus, as a direct result of their lack of self-control, the Ardiaeans are destroyed by their enemies in a very shameful way.
