Arcadiopolis in Asia
History
Arcadiopolis was important enough in the Late Roman province of Asia Prima to become a suffragan of the Metropolis of Ephesus, but was to fade.
Titular see
The diocese was nominally restored in the 17th century as a Latin Catholic titular bishopric, called just Arcadiopolis. It was renamed Arcadiopolis in Asia in 1933, avoiding confusion with Arcadiopolis in Europe.
It is vacant since decades, having had the following incumbents, all of the lowest (episcopal) rank :
- Guillaume de Gifford (1617.10.22 – 1622.12.05) (later Archbishop)

gollark: If you want to actually have a cool, novel, original idea, it probably needs to be in some area you specialize in and not just some random idea from soneone else.
gollark: I don't think that's how it works.
gollark: There's lots of... selection bias?
