Themisonium orThemisonion (Ancient Greek:Θεμισώνιον), was a town ofancient Phrygia, near the borders ofPisidia, whence in later times it was regarded as a town of Pisidia.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]Pausanias relates that the Themisonians showed a cave, about 30stadia from their town, in which, on the advice ofHeracles,Apollo, andHermes, they had concealed their wives and children during an invasion of theCelts, and in which afterwards they set up statues of these divinities. According to theTabula Peutingeriana, Themisonium was 34 miles fromLaodicea on the Lycus.[8]
In the lateRoman Empire it belonged to the Roman province ofPhrygia Pacatiana Prima.
Itsbishopric was asuffragan ofLaodicea in Phrygia, the capital andmetropolitan see of the province.[9][10]
Its site is unlocated.[11]
