Tirida

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Tirida, also known as Stabulum Diomedis or Stabulo Diomedis (both Latin for 'Diomedes's stable'), was a town of

regio Maronea.[5] Some have suggested the town belonged to Geto-Dacian enclave.[6]

Modern scholarship accepts the identification of Tirida with Stabulum Diomedis, but rejects the identification with Dicaea, leaving the site of Stabulum Diomedes as unlocated but probably near Anastasioupolis.[7] Other names borne by the settlement include Cartera Come or Kartera Kome, Turris Diomedis ('Diomedes's tower'), and Tyrida.[7] Theodoric Strabo died here in 481 CE.[8]
