Neapolis, Pisidia

Neapolis (in Greek Nεαπoλις) is an ancient town in Pisidia, a few miles south of Antioch.[1] Pliny (v. 42) mentions it as a town of the Roman province of Galatia, which embraced a portion of Pisidia.[2] Franz identifies its site with Tutinek, where some ancient remains still exist.
