The Theodosian Palace

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.
