Tiberiopolis (Ancient Greek: Τιβεριούπολις; sometimes in sources, Tiberiapolis, and Pappa-Tiberiopolis; formerly Pappa)[1][2] was a town in the Roman province of Phrygia Pacatiana, mentioned by Ptolemy,[3] Socrates of Constantinople[4] and Hierocles.[5] At various times, it was considered as part of Phrygia, Isauria, and the late Roman province of Pisidia.[6]
It struck its own coins at least from the time of Trajan.
Roman Sarcophagus (2nd C AD)
It was situated at the modern village of Yunuslar, Beyşehir district, in Konya Province, Turkey.[2] At Tiberiopolis the famous Roman sarcophagus showing the Twelve Labours of Hercules now displayed at the Konya Archaeological Museum was recovered.[2]
It must have been Christianised at an early date. Nicephorus, a presbyter at Tiberiopolis was martyred in 361 or 362, and later canonized.[7] His feast is celebrated on 28 November.[7]
