Tauresium (Latin: Tauresium; Ancient Greek Ταυρήσιον; Macedonian: Тауресиум), today known as Gradište (Macedonian: Градиште), is an archaeological site in North Macedonia, near the village of Taor. Tauresium is the birthplace of Byzantine Emperor Justinian I (ca. 482) and King Theodahad of the Ostrogoths (480).[1][2] According to other studies, Tauresium was located near the modern city of Niš, Serbia.[3]
