Cratia (Bithynia)

Cratia, Crateia or Krateia (Ancient Greek: Κρατεία) was a town in the interior of ancient Bithynia, which also bore the name Flaviopolis,[1] which clearly dates from the imperial period, and probably the time of Vespasian.

The Antonine Itinerary places it between Claudiopolis and Ancyra of Galatia, 24 M. P. from the former.

Under the name Cratia it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.

[3] Its site is located near Gerede in Asiatic Turkey.
