Aureliopolis in Lydia

Aureliopolis in Lydia (Ancient Greek: Αυρηλιούπολις Λυδίας) is a city in the Roman province of Lydia, previously called Tmolus or in Greek Τμῶλος (Tmolos).

The name "Aureliopolis" was given in honour of the emperor Marcus Aurelius.

[1][2][3] It was a town of ancient Lydia, situated on Mount Tmolus, and was destroyed during the Lydia earthquake, otherwise known as the Earthquake of the Twelve Cities, in 17 CE.

[9] Aureliopolis was the site of an early bishopric[10] and the names of five of its ancient bishops are preserved in a number of documents.

No longer a residential bishopric, Aureliopolis in Lydia is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.
