Tauresium, Archaeological site in Zelenikovo Municipality, North Macedonia
The archaeological site of Tauresium contains remnants of stone structures, foundations, and architectural elements spread across a hillside near modern Taor village.
The settlement suffered extensive destruction during the earthquake of 518 CE, which also devastated the nearby ancient Roman city of Scupi.
Excavations at Tauresium have revealed numerous artifacts, including pottery and coins, providing information about trade networks and daily life in ancient times.
The archaeological site sits approximately 20 kilometers from Skopje, making it accessible for researchers and visitors interested in ancient Roman settlements.
Research indicates that Tauresium was the birthplace of Byzantine Emperor Justinian I and King Theodahad of the Ostrogoths during the late 5th century.
