Dometiopolis
Template:Short description Dometiopolis (Template:Langx) was a city of Cilicia Trachea,[1] and in the later Roman province of Isauria[2] in Asia Minor. Its ruins are found in the village of Katranlı (formerly Dindebul), Ermenek, Karaman Province, Turkey.[3]
History
The city, whose previous name is unknown, was named Dometiopolis (Greek: Δομετιούπολις) after Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus (consul 16 BC). According to Constantine Porphyrogenitus it was one of the ten cities of the Isaurian Decapolis.[4][5]
Episcopal see
The episcopal see of Dometiopolis is mentioned in Gustav Parthey's Notitiæ episcopatuum, I and III, and in Heinrich Gelzer's Nova Tactica, 1618, as a suffragan of Seleucia. Lequien (Oriens Christianus II, 1023) mentions five bishops, from 451 to 879.
It remains a titular see of the Catholic Church,[6] sometimes under the spelling "Domitiopolis".[5]
