Tauresium (Latin; Macedonian: Тауресиум), today known as Gradište (Macedonian: Градиште), is an archaeological site in North Macedonia, approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) southeast of the capital Skopje. Tauresium is the birthplace of Byzantine Emperor Justinian I (ca. 482) and King Theodahad of the Ostrogoths (480).[1][2] Accordig to the most recent studies, Tauresium is located also near the modern city of Niš.[3]
