church, the See also:title of a See also:bishop who has the over-sight over bishops of subordinate See also:sees. In the Western church
the metropolitan is practically the same as the See also:archbishop (q.v.); in the Eastern church he ranks above the archbishop, but below the See also:patriarch (q.v.). Metropolitans first appear in the See also:East in the 4th See also:century as presiding over a See also:province (provincia or irapXla), and their see is fixed in the See also:principal See also:town (o rporats) of the province, which remains the normal See also:custom both in East and See also:West.
