Stridon (Latin: Strido Dalmatiae) was a town in the Roman province of Dalmatia. The town is located near modern Ljubljana[1] but the exact location is unknown. The town is especially known as the birthplace of Saint Jerome. From Stridon also came Domnus of Stridon, a bishop who took part in the First Council of Nicaea, and priest Lupicinus of Stridon. In 379 the town was destroyed by the Goths. Jerome wrote about it in his work De viris illustribus:[2] "Hieronymus patre Eusebio natus, oppido Stridonis, quod a Gothis eversum, Dalmatiae quondam Pannoniaeque confinium fuit...".

It is possible Stridon was located either in today's Croatian or Slovenian territory. Possible locations are: Sdrin, Štrigova, Zrenj (Croatia), Starod (Slovenia), Zrin and many others in both countries.[3][4][5]

However, according to others, like Frane Bulić and his work "Stridon (Grahovopolje u Bosni) rodno mjesto Svetoga Jeronima: rasprava povjesno-geografska" (1920), and geographical map of the Roman Empire in 395 CE from "Historical Atlas" (1911) by William R. Shepherd, Stridon, which was a seat of bishopric, is placed in today Bosnia, in Grahovo polje, near town of Tuzla[6][7]
