Bishop Of Titiopolis
Titiopolis or Titioupolis ( el, Τιτιούπολις) was a town of ancient Cilicia and later in the Roman province of Isauria. Name and location Some refer to the town by the name Titopolis, but a coin minted there in the time of Emperor Hadrian bears on the reverse the word ΤΙΤΙΟΠΟΛΙΤΩΝ (Of the inhabitants of Titiopolis). Other sources cited in the presentation about that coin to the Royal Numismatic Society give the same form. These concern the names of bishops of Titiopolis (considered below) and also the information given by the '' Hieroclis Synecdemus'', by George of Cyprus, and by Constantine Porphyrogenitus, according to which Titiopolis was one of the cities of the Isaurian Decapolis. The editors of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World conjecture that the old Isaurian bishopric (and, now, titular see) of Cardabunta or Kardabounda may be identified with the town. The ruins of Titiopolis lie about 4 kilometres north-north-west of Anamur. Eccles ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Titular See
A titular see in various churches is an episcopal see of a former diocese that no longer functions, sometimes called a "dead diocese". The ordinary or hierarch of such a see may be styled a "titular metropolitan" (highest rank), "titular archbishop" (intermediary rank) or "titular bishop" (lowest rank), which normally goes by the status conferred on the titular see. Titular sees are dioceses that no longer functionally exist, often because the territory was conquered by Muslims or because it is schismatic. The Greek–Turkish population exchange of 1923 also contributed to titular sees. The see of Maximianoupolis along with the town that shared its name was destroyed by the Bulgarians under Emperor Kaloyan in 1207; the town and the see were under the control of the Latin Empire, which took Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade in 1204. Parthenia, in north Africa, was abandoned and swallowed by desert sand. Catholic Church During the Muslim conquests of the Middle Eas ...
