Claneus or Klaneos or Klaneous (Ancient Greek: Κλάνεος[1] or Κλανεοῦς[2]) was an ancient city and bishopric in Asia Minor.

Its site is tentatively located near Turgut, Yunak, Turkey.[3][4]

Claneus was in the Roman province of either Phrygia Salutaris or Galatia Secunda.

Ecclesiastical history

Claneus became a suffragan bishopric of the Metropolitan of Pessinus, in Galatia Salutaris (erected 398). When Amorium, its former fellow suffragan of Pessinus, became a Metropolitan see in the ninth century, Claneus became its suffragan.

Two of its bishops are historically recorded :

Titular see

The diocese was nominally restored in 1933 as Latin Titular bishopric of Claneus (Latin) / Claneo (Curiate Italian) / Clanien(sis) (Latin adjective).

It has been vacant for decades, and has had only these incumbents, of episcopal (lowest) rank :
