Podalia

Podalia was an ancient city in the Lycia region of Asia Minor .

It is first mentioned in Pliny the Elder . The city is mentioned several times in Greek inscriptions from Lycia from the 2nd century AD: Podalia honors Euergete Iason from Kyaneai , along with numerous other mainly central and east Lycian poleis . Opramoas from Rhodiapolis considers Podalia as a victim of the great earthquake of 141 AD, along with numerous other cities. A citizen of Arykanda also had civil rights in Podalia. From the time of Gordian III. there are coins of the city. In Byzantine times, Podalia was the seat of a bishop; The titular diocese Podalia of the Roman Catholic Church goes back to the diocese .

Podalia is not clearly localized, but there is much to suggest that it was in what is now the Turkish town of Söğle . There were numerous ceramic shards from the Bronze Age to the Middle Ages on a hill, in the village itself there were architectural poles and inscriptions.
