Mesotymolus Explained

Mesotymolus was an ancient Roman and Byzantine-era city on the Hermus River in ancient Lydia.

The city was the seat of an ancient bishopric[1] [2] [3] [4] which remains a vacant titular see to this day.[5]

Traditionally, its site has been connected with ruins near Takmak, Eşme,[6] modern scholars treat Mesotymolus as unlocated.
