Promona was an ancient city of the Illyrians in the territory of the Delmatae. It is located near the modern-day village of Tepljuh, north of Drnis.
In 34 BC the Dalmatians, who had been rebellious since their rout by the troops of Aulus Gabinius in 48 BC, rose in revolt. Octavian went to suppress them but the Dalmatians had up to 12,000 troops led by Versus, who had seized Promona from the Liburnians and fortified it even though it was a mountain stronghold.
