Trajan, 25 January 98 - 8 or 9 August 117 A.D., Nacolea, Phrygia
|Other| |Phrygia|, |Trajan,| |25| |January| |98| |-| |8| |or| |9| |August| |117| |A.D.,| |Nacolea,| |Phrygia|, Nakoleia (also known as Nakolaion, Nacoleia, Nacolia or Nacolea) was an ancient and medieval city in Phrygia. It corresponds to present-day Seyitgazi, Eskisehir Province, Turkey. It was named for the nymph Nacole. The area was known for its fertility in late Roman times, thanks to the river Parthenios (Seyit Su), and was wooded in the late 4th century (now deforested). It was there that Valens defeated the usurper Procopius in 366 A.D. at the Battle of Thyatira. Under Arcadius it was occupied by a garrison of Goths under Tribigild who revolted against the emperor in 399 A.D. In the early 8th century, Nakoleia's bishop Constantine became a leading proponent of Byzantine Iconoclasm under Leo III the Isaurian (ruled 717- 741) and was later condemned as an heresiarch at the Second Council of Nicaea (787). In 782, Nakoleia was temporarily captured by the Abbasid Caliphate. Nakoleia was elevated to the rank of an archbishopric between 787 and 862, and eventually to a metropolitan see between 1035 and 1066, when its incumbent appears in the last place among the metropolitans attending a council.
