Hierocaesarea
Hierocaesarea or Hierokaisareia, from the Greek for 'sacred' and the Latin for 'Caesar's', also known as Hieracome or Hierakome, was a town and bishopric in the late Roman province of Lydia, the metropolitan see of which was Sardis. It was inhabited during Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine times.[1]
History
[edit ]This town is mentioned by Ptolemy.[2] Judging from its coins, it worshipped the goddess Artemis Persica.
Its site is located between Sazoba and Kumkuyucak in Asiatic Turkey.[1] [3]
Bishopric
[edit ]It is mentioned as an episcopal see in all the Notitiae Episcopatuum until the 12th or 13th century,[4] but only three of its bishops are known:
- Cosinius, at the Council of Chalcedon,[5] 451;
- Zacharias, at the Second Council of Nicaea, 787;[6]
- Theodore, at the Council of Constantinople (879-880).
The see remains a (vacant) titular see in the Roman Catholic Church, with nominal bishops appointed.[7]
