Palaeopolis (in Asia) was a city in ancient

metropolitan see
of that province.

Its site is now near the Turkish town of Beydağ.[1] Under the Ottoman Empire, it was in the vilayet (province) of İzmir.

History

The secular history of this city is unknown. In the 6th century AD it is mentioned by

Constantinople, 869; Julian at Constantinople, 879
.
