Leontopolis: Kaiserstadt ohne Bischof?

Leontopolis: Kaiserstadt ohne Bischof? AbstractThe city of Leontopolis in Isauria first appears in the sources towards the end of the 5th century, more precisely: in a legal text of the later Codex Iustinianus. In general, the surviving information is very sparse. In this essay, the source material is reviewed, in particular the mentioned law and the Martyrdom of Konon of Bidana. On this basis, a date of foundation is suggested, a new localisation of the city is established and the question of its own episcopal see is pursued. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Zeitschrift für antikes Christentum / Journal of Ancient Christianity de Gruyter

Abstract

AbstractThe city of Leontopolis in Isauria first appears in the sources towards the end of the 5th century, more precisely: in a legal text of the later Codex Iustinianus. In general, the surviving information is very sparse. In this essay, the source material is reviewed, in particular the mentioned law and the Martyrdom of Konon of Bidana. On this basis, a date of foundation is suggested, a new localisation of the city is established and the question of its own episcopal see is pursued.
