Doberos

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Doberos ( Greek  Δόβηρος ; Latin Doberus ) was an ancient city in the Paionien landscape , probably in the valley of today's Strumica .

Doberos was a stage of the Thracian king Sitalkes on his march against Macedonia in 432 BC. In Hellenistic times it belonged to Macedonia, then to the Roman province of Macedonia . In 267 the city was sacked during a Goth invasion .

In late antiquity, Doberus was the seat of a Christian bishop. The Roman Catholic titular diocese of Doberus goes back to this bishopric .
