ICONIO
City in Asia Minor. Xenophon describes it as the last Phrygian city encountered by the traveler heading east (Anabase 1:2, 19). Under the rule of the Greeks and Romans, Iconium was the capital of Lycaonia. It was located in a fertile area of the Lycaonian plateau, mostly devoid of water.
Barnabas and Paul visited Iconium during their first missionary journey, stopping there on their way and returning (Acts 13:51; 14:1-6, 19-22; cf. Acts 16:2; 2 Tim. 3:11) . The history of Iconium does not present any interruption. Today it is called Konya.
