The most representative residential building in Stobi is located in the center of the town, between the streets of Via Principalis Inferior and Via Principalis Superior. The name was applied by the assumption that the emperor Theodosius I was accommodated here during his visit of Stobi in 388 AD.


The palace is divided in two parts which are not linked by common entrances. The south part is called House of Parthenius because of a seal inscription reading “Of Parthenius”. Having in mind that the Palace is not excavated completely and probably the so – called “Prison” also belonged to the complex, more appropriate name for the building is Theodosian Palace.
The north part is the more attractive area of the palace. The rooms with mosaic floors are arranged around the open court surrounded by columns (peristyle). The floor of the court and the corridors around it, also have mosaic floors. At the eastern end of the peristyle there is a pool fenced with pink marble parapet blocks. Above the pool there are niches and marble bases once decorated with sculptures. The famous bronze satyrs from Stobi are exhibited in the National Museum in Belgrade, as well as the bronze sculptures of Apollo, Aphrodite and Lar and the marble head of Serapis. These artifacts were discovered inside the pool as a result of destruction. It is interesting to point out that some of them, such as the satyrs, were made during the Hellenistic period (2nd century BC) and the palace was built in the 4th century AD.


There is also a peristyle in the south part of the palace. Around this small court there are a few rooms. Two of them have mosaic floors and one of them served as a storage room judging by the ten discovered pithoi.


To the southeast of the palace, two vaulted chambers were discovered. Because of the human remains they are called “Prison”. Some of the older scholars consider these facilities to be a cellar and thus a segment of the economic part of the palace.


The palace was destroyed during the 5th century AD after what the walls were incorporated in the poor houses, built on top of the ruins in the 6th century.

STOBI
Archaeological site




The archaeological site of Stobi is situated in the central part of the Republic of Macedonia, in the area where the river Crna Reka (the Antique Erigon) flows into the river Vardar (Axios).
Since it was an important Antique crossroads, Stobi was marked on the Tabula Peutingeriana; therefore, in the middle of the 19th century, the European explorers easily established its position. Archaeological explorations began in World War I and, with certain interruptions, continue to this day.
Although in academic circles Stobi is primarily known as an Antique and Early Roman city, archaeological finds testify to the fact that the site was settled continually since prehistoric times. The deepest layers have yielded fragments of ceramic vessels with typological and stylistic characteristics of the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages (13th to 9th centuries BC). Specimens of ceramics and bronze jewellery from the advanced Iron Age (8th to 6th centuries BC) have been discovered on a number of locations, while certain grave offerings date from the Classical Antique period and the centuries that followed.
The earliest reference to Stobi in written records can be found in Titus Livius, the Roman historian, who records the military victory of the Macedonian king Philip V over the Dardanian invaders “near Stobi” in 197 BC. According to Livius, Stobi was “an ancient city,” a claim that has been confirmed by modern archaeology.
Immediately after the conquest of Macedonia by the Romans in 168 BC, Stobi became the centre of salt trade for the cattle breeders of the northern regions. At that time, the city was still situated only on the highest point of the site, covering a small surface of 3.5 to 4 hectares. At the time of Octavian Augustus, it rapidly spread, covering a surface of 20 hectares; now a fortified city, it acquired the status of an oppidium civium Romanorum, while as early as in 69 it already had the administrative rank of a municipium, a fact confirmed by the copper coins minted in the city itself, which minted coins as late as in the 3rd century.
During the Early Roman Empire and in its middle period, Stobi experienced rapid economic growth. It was in this period that the most exquisite buildings were erected: the City Gate with a triumphal arch, the resplendent house known as Casa Romana with coloured stucco decoration and frescoes, the monumental theatre built of white marble with red veins, the mysterious Arched Building also known as the Forum, in whose numerous niches stood gilded marble statues of deities (perhaps a Pantheon), architectural and cult architectural marble decorations on temples and other public buildings. The Jewish community in Stobi also built their synagogue. The overall prosperity and wellbeing were violently interrupted with the onslaughts and plundering of the Heruls/Eruli and Goths in 267/269. The city slowly recovered, while its urban features changed in Late Antiquity, acquiring the urban characteristics of the East Mediterranean type, with the irregular grid of city quarters and large houses with interior peristyle courts decorated with resplendent fountains and mosaic floors. The houses of the collector Partenius, the Jewish rabbi Policharmosius and of Peristerius, the buildings known as the Casino, the Episcopal Residence and the North Palace, together with the public bath at the centre of the city, the street Via Sacra and the renewed fortification characterize this period.
Stobi became an influential city in the Early Christian period as an episcopal centre which played an important role in the establishment of the new state religion. Bishop Budios was present at the First Council of Nicaea in 325, while other church registers and inscriptions discovered in the city reveal the names of six other bishops from Stobi. Four Early Christian churches have been discovered in the city and three other churches outside the city walls. The majority of them have baptisteries. Among them, the largest and the most resplendent is the basilica of Bishop Philip from the first half of the 5th century, built above an earlier church, through two chronological phases. It is well known that during his stay in Stobi, Emperor Theodosius I issued two edicts that strictly regulated religious issues; however, the teachings of the learned philosopher Joannes Stobaeus who had still preached the old spiritual tradition have also been recorded.
During the 5th and 6th centuries Stobi was exposed to destruction several times. In 447 it was conquered and burned down by the Huns, in 479 it was looted by the hordes of Theodoric the Great, king of the East Goths and it was struck by an earthquake in the early 6th century; it continued to exist, but without its former urban features. A number of hidden hoards with coins dating from the eighth and ninth decades of the 6th century represent the last specimens of material evidence for the life in Stobi, whose fall into oblivion and cessation of life coincide with the incursions of the Kutrigurs, Avars and Slavs in the Balkan region.

"Macedonia from above - a 360° Virtual Tour Guide"
PROJECT


The Project was started in 2017,
Registrated to the Macedonian Copyright Agency in 2018,
Website https://macedoniafromabove.mk was officially opened in May 2019.


The main goals of the project are:
Promotion of tourist sites for better acquaintance with domestic and foreign tourists
Educational - for primary and secondary school students - for the subjects Geography, History, Society, Religions, Art - to be able to see realistically what cities, villages, gorges, lakes, rivers, museums, archeological sites, memorial centers and much more look like - because - in Covid situation - they can not walk.
The Ministry of Education and Science has already given an opinion that the website CAN be used in primary and secondary schools.


On this site you can "walk" virtually through many locations, which are divided into topics:
- settlements - cities, villages, ski resorts, picnic places
- nature - rivers, gorges, lakes, mountains
- history - museums, archeological sites, memorial centers, monuments and others (such as Kokino, Kuklici, Cocev Kamen ...)
- religious buildings - churches, monasteries, mosques
- art galleries and exhibitions
- tests - on how much you know about the monuments in Skopje and another one in the field of geography - cities, villages, lakes and gorges.
All locations are processed with 360° panoramas - from the air and from the ground, which are interconnected, with much additional text information, photos, videos and 360 ° videos ... in 2 languages: Macedonian and English (for now).
It currently has more than 3,000 panoramas.
The site is also ready for "virtual tours with a live guide".
90% of the materials posted on the site are with our own financial support.
