Deuriopus

Encyclopedia : D : DE : DEU : Deuriopus

Deuriopus (Strabo: Deuriopos, Steph. Byz.: Douriopos) was a subdivision of Paionia. Its exact limits are unclear, but the river Erigon (Erigonus) watered the district. The towns Bryanium (Gk. Bruanion) and Stymbara (also known as Stuberrha) were located in Deuriopus.

Philip V of Macedon had a town built here and named it Perseis, after his eldest son, Perseus (Livy, Ab urbe condita, 39.53).
