Dulopolis or Doulopolis (Ancient Greek: Δουλόπολις or Δόυλων πόλις[1]) means slaves' city.
Several cities have borne this name:
- A city of ancient Crete, which was mentioned by Sosicrates in the first book of his work on Crete,[2] and was said to have contained a thousand male citizens.[3] However, modern scholars treat Dulopolis as a false toponym.[4]
- A city in ancient Libya.[5]
- A city of sacred slaves, in which one man is free. Suda does not give any more information regarding this city.[5]
- Dulopolis in Caria.
