Bergule or Bergula or Bergoule (Template:Lang-grc), also Bergulium or Bergoulion (Βεργούλιον), also called Bergulae or Virgulae, was a town in ancient Thrace, which was in later times called Arcadiopolis, Arcadiupolis, or Arkadioupolis (Ἀρκαδιούπολις).[1] It was noted by Ptolemy,[2] and inhabited during Roman and Byzantine times.[3] Under the name Arcadiopolis in Europa it was the seat of a bishop; no longer a residential see, it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[4]
Its site is located near Lüleburgaz in European Turkey.[3][5]
