Prymnessus
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Prymnessus or Prymnessos (Ancient Greek: Πρύμνησσος), or Prymnesus or Prymnesos (Πρύμνησος),[1] or Prymnesia (Πρυμνησία) was a town of ancient Phrygia. Its site is located near Sülün in Asiatic Turkey.[2][3]
History
[edit]The town was inhabited during Roman and Byzantine times.[2] It was the see of a Christian bishop. No longer the seat of a residential bishop, it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[4]
The martyr and saint Ariadne of Phrygia lived here according to her vita.[5][6]
