Chalcis in Europa
- See Chalcis for Ancient and ecclesiastical namesakes
Chalcis (in Europa) was an Ancient town, near modern Inecik, in European Turkey. Its bishopric became a Latin Catholic titular see.
History
Chalcis was important enough to become a Roman bishopric, suffragan of the metropolitan Archbishop Heraclea Perinthus, the capital of its Roman province, Europa.
Titular see
The diocese was nominally restored in 1933 as a Latin Catholic titular see, but hasn't got an incumbent yet.
