I was curious if the page on Čapljina could be enriched with som emore historical and cultural information. I believe many would be intereste to hear that Čapljina occupies the area whcih once was the homeland of ancient Illyrian tribe of Ardiaei. Furthermore, the nabe of Ardiaei bears incredible resemblance with Latin word Ardea, meaning "Heron" ("Čaplja" in Bosnian/Croatian/Montenegrin/Serbian language). Heron is also found in the coat of Arms of Čapljina town. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daesitiates (talk • contribs) 14:11, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Moreover, I found the following statement in the article somewhat missleading: "The name is the same as it was 2000 years ago."

Perhaps you meant the MEANING is the same, but the name could not have been ČAPLJINA according to the stardards of modern science of History, because the slavs (slavonic people) came to the Balkan region as late as 6th century A.D. (5th the earliest) and ČAPLJINA is a slavonic word. This is why I suggest the revision of this statement and possible connection to the Latin word of Ardea, which might have given the name of Illyiran tribe of Ardiaei.
