Gordus (Lydia)

Gordus or Gordos (Ancient Greek: Γόρδος),[1] also known as Julia Gordus or Iulia Gordos, and possibly also known as Porotta,[2][3] was an ancient Greek city located in eastern Lydia (modern western Turkey).

[4][5][6] The city achieved the full status of a polis under the Flavian emperors.

[7] It was the home to Appolophanes the physician,[8] and there is epigraphical evidence of both pagans[9] and Christians in the town.

No longer the seat of a residential bishop, it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.
