Yes.
Laodicea was a city in the western part of Asia Minor about 90 miles east of Ephesus. Once known as Diospolis and Rhoas , it was apparently rebuilt in the third century B.C.E. by the Seleucid ruler Antiochus II and named after his wife Laodice. Situated at the junction of major trade routes , it was linked by roads with cities such as Ephesus, Pergamum, and Philadelphia, thus enjoying great prosperity.
Paul mentioned Leodicea when he wrote to the Colossian congregation:
(Colossians 2:1) ". . .For I want YOU to realize how great a struggle I am having in behalf of YOU and of those atLa‧o‧di‧ce′a and of all those who have not seen my face in the flesh. . . "
(Colossians 4:13-16) " I indeed bear him witness that he puts himself to great effort in behalf of YOU and of those at La‧o‧di‧ce′a and of those at Hi‧e‧rap′o‧lis. Luke the beloved physician sends YOU his greetings, and so does De′mas. Give my greetings to the brothers at La‧o‧di‧ce′a and to Nym′pha and to the congregation at her house. And when this letter has been read among YOU, arrange that it also be read in the congregation of the La‧o‧di‧ce′ans and that YOU also read the one from La‧o‧di‧ce′a." (Rev 1:11, 3:14)
