Caesaropolis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Caesaropolis is a Catholic titular see of Macedonia. Its early name and the site have not yet been identified.

It is mentioned in Gelzer's Nova Tactica (1717) and in Parthey's Notitiae episcopatuum, III (c. 1170-1179) and X (twelfth or thirteenth century), as a suffragan of Philippi in Macedonia. Lequien (II, 65) speaks of the see, but mentions no bishop. Manuscript notes give the names of two titulars, Meletius, who was alive in April, 1329, and Gabriel, in November, 1378.
