Marcopolis
Marcopolis was a city in the late Roman province of Osrhoene. It is described at the beginning of the 7th century by the geographer George of Cyprus.〔
== History ==
Siméon Vailhé, writing at the beginning of the 20th century, says that the native name of the city is not known, and that it owes its Greek name to the Emperor Marcus Aurelius (121–180).〔(Siméon Vailhé, "Marcopolis" in ''Catholic Encyclopedia (New York 1910) )〕 Writing almost a century later, Maurice Sartre says that "Barnai of Anthemousia" (in Latinized form, Barnae of Anthemusia) was called Marcopolis in honour of the emperor Marcus Antonius Gordianus Pius Augustus (225–244).〔(Maurice Sartre, ''The Middle East under Rome'' (Harvard University Press 2005 ISBN 978-0-67401683-5), p. 345 )〕 However, Steven K. Ross points out that Marcopolis and Barnae are listed as distinct episcopal sees in the ''Notitia Antiochena'', showing that they are not the same place, though they may have been close to each other.〔(Steven K. Ross, ''Roman Edessa'', p. 27 )〕
The kings of Osrhoene resided at Marcopolis before the 40s of the 3rd century.〔(Ilaria L. E. Ramelli, "Possible Historical Traces in the ''Doctrina Addai''", p. 53 )〕
The site of this city has not been found, but it may be at Sindjar.〔''Annuario Pontificio 2013'' (Libreria Editrice Vaticana, 2013, ISBN 978-88-209-9070-1), p. 922〕
