History
[edit | edit source]- See Hadrianopolis for Ancient namesakes
Hadrianopolis (in Pisidia) was important enough in the late Roman province of Pisidia to become one of the suffragan bishoprics of the Metropolitan of the capital Antioch, but was to fade.
Titular see
[edit | edit source]The diocese was nominally restored in 1933 as a Latin titular bishopric.
It is vacant since decades, having had the following incumbents of the fitting Episcopal (lowest) rank :

- Bernardino N. Mazzarella, Friars Minor (O.F.M.) (1957.07.20 – 1963.03.13) as Bishop-Prelate of the Territorial Prelature of Inmaculada Concepción de la B.V.M. en Olancho (Honduras) (1954 – 1963.03.13); later Bishop of Comayagua (Honduras) (1963.03.13 – death 1979.05.30)
