Tius

Tius

Tius /ˈtaɪəs/ was an ancient settlement on the southern coast of the Black Sea, in what is now Turkey; it is still the name of a Catholic titular see. The original diocese was a suffragan of Claudiopolis in Honorias; its see was also known as Tium, Tieium, Tieion, Tios or Tion (Greek: Τῖον). It corresponds to modern Filyos (Hisarönü). Modern Filyos (Filyas) stands on the ruins of ancient Tium, which included remains of ramparts and sculptures. It is not far from the mouth on the Black Sea of the Filyas River, the Billaeus in the antique period.
