It was situated at the modern village of Yunuslar, Beyşehir district, in Konya Province, Turkey.[2] At Tiberiopolis the famous Roman sarcophagus showing the Twelve Labours of Hercules now displayed at the Konya Archaeological Museum was recovered.[2]

It must have been Christianised at an early date. Nicephorus, a presbyter at Tiberiopolis was martyred in 361 or 362, and later canonized.[7] His feast is celebrated on 28 November.[7]
