- Title
Leontopolis: Kaiserstadt ohne Bischof?: Lokalisierung und Geschichte einer isaurischen Märtyrer-Kultstätte.
- Authors
Pilhofer, Philipp
- Abstract
The city of Leontopolis in Isauria first appears in the sources towards the end of the 5th century, more precisely: in a legal text of the later Codex Iustinianus. In general, the surviving information is very sparse. In this essay, the source material is reviewed, in particular the mentioned law and the Martyrdom of Konon of Bidana. On this basis, a date of foundation is suggested, a new localisation of the city is established and the question of its own episcopal see is pursued.
