Ancient city of Asia Minor
Lydia in about 50 CE.

Temenothyra (Ancient Greek: Τημενοθύρα), or Temenothyrae or Temenothyrai (Ancient Greek: Τημενοθύραι or Τημένου θύραι, romanized: Temenou Thyrae, Temenouthyrai), was a town of ancient Lydia,[1] or of Phrygia,[2] inhabited during Roman and Byzantine times.[3] It became a bishopric; no longer the seat of a residential bishop, under the name Temenothyrae it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[4]

Its site is located near Uşak in Asiatic Turkey.[3][5]
