Mesotymolus was an ancient Roman and Byzantine-era city on the Hermus River in ancient Lydia.
The city was the seat of an ancient bishopric [1] [2] [3] [4] which remains a vacant titular see to this day. [5]
Traditionally, its site has been connected with ruins near Takmak, Eşme, [6] modern scholars treat Mesotymolus as unlocated.
