BRYANIUM
Our written sources about the existence of Bryanium at the village of
Drenovo are quite obscure. Strabo (64 BC – 24 AD) in his work Geography
tells us that Bryanium, Alcomenae and Styberra were among the most
populous cities on the Erigon River in Deuriopus district. Obviously,
Deuriopus must have covered the whole region alongside the Erigon River
as almost does Rajec today that during the Turkish reign of Macedonia
was treated as a separate administrative unit called River Parish. Our
assumption that Bryanium existed as a city in the past on the site of
Gradište near by the hill of Devol is mainly based on the extensive
occurrence of the archaeological finds and its strategic location at the
gorge of Drenovo on the important road from Stobi to the interior of
the Macedonian Kingdom.

Livy (59 BC – 17 AD), in his description of the Macedonian war with
Rome, tells us that the young prince Perseus was ordered by his father,
Philip V to guard the passes to Pelagonia against the expected attack by
Dardani. After the battle with the Roman army at Ottolobum in 200 BC,
Philip V was forced to take the road to Bryanium over the mountains,
which he knew that the Roman general would not attempt with his heavy
column. When Philip V had established a base near Bryanium, marching
from there across country he inspired sudden terror in the enemy.
