Maximianopolis

Palestine

Maximianopolis was an ancient city in the Roman province of Syria Palaestina, later in the province of Palaestina Secunda within the Byzantine Empire. The name Maximianopolis ('City of Maximian') was given to it by Diocletian (r. 284–305), in honour of his co-emperor Maximian. It was located 17 M.P. from Caesarea and 10 M.P. from Jezreel. Legio's name was preserved in that of the nearby former Arab village of Lejjun.
