Source-derived summary

Aureliopolis in Asia is both a Roman era city and a vacant titular see located in the ecumenical province of Asia, in what is today Turkey.

City

The Roman city (also known as Frenel and Evrenli), was located on the plain of Adramyttium at 39.5583N and 27.0983E. It was on the Freneli Çay river near the modern town of Havran in Balıkesir Province of Turkey. At times minted its own coins.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Aureliopolis in Asia” as titular see in Turkey. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Aureliopolis, Asia and titular.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current 71-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1933. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Aureliopolis, Asia and titular providing the first useful test.
