EURISTUM
Ptolemaeus (90-168 AD) in his work “Geographiae” has listed
Andaristus and Stobi in the district of Pelaconarum, indicating that
Deuriopus must have been renamed at that time. Euristum is also listed
in the Tabula Peuntigeriana as one of the station on the way from Stobi
to Heraclea Lyncestis. The map shows that Euristum was on a distance of
12 roman miles from Stobi, which corresponds with the location of the
village Drenovo at the entrance of the gorge at the Rajec River. We
assume that Deuriopus must have changed its name into Euristum at the
time of the road construction by the Romans and the creation of the
first itineraria with listing of cities, villages and other stops in the
fourth or early fifth century.

In the village of Drenovo there is an old church that was built for
Tsar Dushan and finished with the paintings shortly after his death in
1356. The church, which was badly damaged during the Turkish rule of
Macedonia, was restored by Mile Sazdov and his villagers in the
beginning of the XIX century. Then, the villagers from Drenovo also
brought building materials from Gradište for the rebuilding of the
church, the marble columns, capitals and fundaments quarried from a
ruined episcopal basilica are now to be found in the church, outside of
it and elsewhere scattered in the village of Drenovo.

Hierocles, a Byzantine geographer from the sixth century to the reign
of Justinian I but prior to 535, lists eight episcopal cities in
Provincia Macedoniae II as follow: Stoli, Argos, Eustraeum, Pelagonia,
Bargala, Celenidin, Harmonia and Zapara. Our conclusion is that
Eustraeum existed on Gradište on the site of Bryanium, Perseida,
Deuriopus and Euristum as an episcopi from where the magnificent remains
of the episcopal church were quarried for the rebuilding of the
medieval church in Drenovo.
