Alia was a town of ancient Phrygia, inhabited in Roman and Byzantine times.
[1] It was located in the Roman province of Phrygia Pacatiana, whose capital was Laodicea on the Lycus, and became the seat of a bishop.
[2][3] No longer a residential bishopric, Alia is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.
[4][5] Some authorities locate the town at Islamköy, now known as Banaz;[6] others identify a place near Asar,[1][7] both of which are in Asiatic Turkey.
