Augustopolis in Palaestina

Augustopolis in Palaestina was a city in the Roman province of Palaestina Tertia, whose capital was Petra. It corresponds to the site of Adhruh in modern-day Jordan.

Description

It was also a Christian bishopric. There are documentary records of two of its bishops. One named John took part in the Council of Ephesus of 431. Another of the same name was a signatory of the acts of the council called by Patriarch Peter of Jerusalem in 536 against Patriarch Anthimus I of Alexandria, a council attended by bishops of Palaestina Prima, Palaestina Secunda and Palaestina Tertia.[1][2]

No longer a residential bishopric, Augustopolis in Palaestina is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.[3]

gollark: If we had an even number of people there might be ties.
gollark: Fear it, although it isn't technically from that.
gollark: This application is LITERALLY a particle of weight W placed on a rough plane inclined at an angle of θ to the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the particle and the plane is μ. A horizontal force X acting on the particle is just sufficient to prevent the particle from sliding down the plane; when a horizontal force kX acts on the particle, the particle is about to slide up the plane. Both horizontal forces act in the vertical plane containing the line of greatest slope.
