Theodosiopolis (Theodosioupolis Procop de Aed. iii. 5), a city in
Armenia Major, founded by Theodosius II. to keep the Armenians in subjection It
was enlarged by the emperor Anastasius, and its fortifications were much strengthened
by Justinian. (Procop. B. P. i. 10.) It lay S. of the Araxes and 42 stadia S.
of the mountain in which the Euphrates rises, the present Bingol. (Id. Ib. 17;
cf. Ritter, Erdk. x. p. 79, seq.) Theodosiopolis enjoyed an extensive commerce.
(Const. Porphyr. de Adm. Imp. 45.) Some writers identify it with Arzeroum (Ritter,
Ib. pp. 80, 271, seq.; Zeune, p. 431); but according to D'Anville (Geogr. Anc.
ii. p. 99, sq.) it lay 35 miles E. of that place. (Cf. Chardin, ii. p. 173, sq.;
Hamilton, Asia Minor, &c. i. p. 178; Gibbon, Decline and Fall, iv. p. 168, ed.
Smith.)
