Hermocapelia
Hermocapelia was an ancient Roman and Byzantine era city on the Hermus River,[1] in the provence of Lydia.It is described as to the west of Apollonis in its own little plain almost completely surrounded by mountains.[2]
It was mentioned by Pliny[3][4] but is best known for its coins which it minted,[5][6] and which are in existence today.
The city was the site of an ancient bishopric[7] which remains a vacant Titular See to this day.[8] [9]
