Blaundus

Blaundus was a Roman episcopal city in Asia Minor, presently Anatolia (Asian Turkey), and is now a Latin Catholic titular bishopric.

Antiquity

The Ancient city left ruins at Sülümenli (formerly Süleimanli), near Ulubey (formerly Göbek) in Uşak Province of modern Turkey. It was in the Roman province of Lydia.

It had a bishop, who was a suffragan of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Sardes, also in Lydia.

Titular bishopric

The bishopric was nominally revived in 1953 as a titular see of the lowest (episcopal) rank, but is vacant since 1971, after only two incumbents:

Michael Mongkhol On Prakhongchit (1953.05.07 – 1958.01.23)
Victor-Jean Perrin (1961.11.26 – 1971.01.31)
