Diocese of Magnesia information


The Diocese of Magnesia was an ancient Bishopric of Early Christianity.

The seat of the bishopric was the town of Magnesia on the Maeander in western Turkey, and Hierocles[1] ranks it among the bishoprics of the province of Asia. Later documents seem to imply that at one time it bore the name of Maeandropolis.[2]
