Metropolis (Ancient Greek:Μητρόπολις) was an ancient town in the southern part ofPhrygia, belonging to theconventus ofApamea.[1] That this town is different from themore northerly town of the same name in northern Phrygia, is quite evident, even without knowing thatStephanus of Byzantium mentions two towns named Metropolis in Phrygia, and thatHierocles.[2] and theNotitiae speak of a town of this name in two different provinces of Phrygia.[3][4] In Roman times, it was assigned to the province ofPisidia, where it became a bishopric. No longer a residential see, it remains, under the nameMetropolis in Pisidia, atitular see of theRoman Catholic Church.[5]
Modern scholars locate its site nearTatarlı,Afyonkarahisar Province,Asian Turkey.[6][7]
