  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Iconium 
  the  capital  of  ancient  Lycaonia.  It  was  first  visited  by  Paul 
  and  Barnabas  from  Antioch-in-Pisidia  during  the  apostle's  first 
  missionary  journey  (Acts  13:50,  51).  Here  they  were  persecuted 
  by  the  Jews,  and  being  driven  from  the  city,  they  fled  to 
  Lystra.  They  afterwards  returned  to  Iconium,  and  encouraged  the 
  church  which  had  been  founded  there  (14:21,22).  It  was  probably 
  again  visited  by  Paul  during  his  third  missionary  journey  along 
  with  Silas  (18:23).  It  is  the  modern  Konieh  at  the  foot  of 
  Mount  Taurus,  about  120  miles  inland  from  the  Mediterranean.
