Places › Lycaonia
Lycaonia is a region in the Bible, its middle about 720 km (447 miles) north of Jerusalem. The King James Version names it in 2 verses, from Acts 14:6 to Acts 14:11.
An inland province of Asia Minor, on the west of Cappadocia and the south of Galatia. It was a Roman province, and its chief towns were Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe. The “speech of Lycaonia” (Acts 14:11) was probably the ancient Assyrian language, or perhaps, as others think, a corrupt Greek intermingled with Syriac words. Paul preached in this region, and revisited it (Acts 16:1-6; 18:23; 19:1).
