**Caesaropolis** (Greek: Καισαρόπολις, Καισαρούπολις) was a [Byzantine](/source/Byzantine) city on the coast of eastern [Macedonia](/source/Macedonia_(region)). It was founded in 836 by the *[Caesar](/source/Caesar_(title))* [Alexios Mosele](/source/Alexios_Mosele_(Caesar)) to consolidate Byzantine control over the Slavic tribes of the area.

It is mentioned as an [episcopal see](/source/Episcopal_see) in [Heinrich Gelzer](/source/Heinrich_Gelzer)'s *Nova Tactica* (1717) and in [Parthey](/source/Parthey)'s *[Notitiae episcopatuum](/source/Notitiae_episcopatuum)*, III (c. 1170–1179) and X (12th or 13th century), as a suffragan of [Philippi](/source/Philippi) in Macedonia. [Le Quien](/source/Le_Quien) (II, 65) speaks of the see, but mentions no bishop. Manuscript notes give the names of two titulars: Meletius, who was alive in April 1329, and Gabriel, in November 1378.

In 1951 Bishop Fulton J. Sheen was named Titular Bishop of Caesaropolis by Pope Pius XII.[1]

No longer a residential bishopric, Caesaropolis is today listed by the [Catholic Church](/source/Catholic_Church) as a [titular see](/source/Titular_see).[2]
