Diocletianopolis in Palaestina
:''See Diocletianopolis for namesakes elsewhere
Diocletianopolis in Palaestina () was a city near Ascalon. It was given the status of a city under the name Diocletianopolis as part of a Roman policy of urbanization,〔(Kevin Butcher, ''Roman Syria and the Near East'' (Getty Publications 2003 ISBN 978-0-89236715-3), p. 121 )〕 what had been the territory of Ascalon was divided into three municipal districts, those of Ascalon, Maiumas, and Diocletianopolis.〔(''The Quarterly of the Department of Antiquities in Palestine'', Volume 5 (1935), p. 156 |Quote: The territory of Ascalon was later on subdivided into three districts, each with its own municipal centre, viz. Ascalon, Maiumas, and Sarafia-Diocletianopolis. )〕 Ken Butcher says that what was given the name Diocletianopolis was the port of Ascalon.〔
== History ==
This arrangement occurred probably in the reign of Diocletian (284–311).〔(Heshey Zelcer, ''A Guide to the Jerusalem Talmud'' (Universal-Publishers 2002 ISBN 978-1-58112630-3), p. 83 )〕 so that the city of Diocletianopolis then belonged to the Roman province of Syria Palaestina. In about 390, it became part of the newly created province of Palestina Prima, which had Caesarea in Palaestina as capital.
Diocletianopolis was also called Sarafia〔(Brouria Bitton Ashkelony, Arieh Kofsky (editors), ''Christian Gaza in Late Antiquity'' (BRILL 2004 ISBN 978-90-0413868-1), p. 43 )〕 a name that survives in the present name of Khirbat al-Sharaf or Khirbat al-Ashraf and that Christians seem to have preferred to the official name that recalled the persecuting emperor.〔(Daniel Caner et alii, ''History and Hagiography from the Late Antique Sinai'' (Liverpool University Press 2010 ISBN 978-1-84631216-8), p. 253 )〕
