Claudiopolis (Galatia)

Claudiopolis (Greek: Κλαυδιόπολις, city of Claudius) was an ancient city of Galatia mentioned by Ptolemy as belonging to the Trocmi.[1] It sat on the Halys river, northwest of Carissa; but its site has not been located.[2] From its name one can adduce that it was named for Roman emperor Claudius.
