Editor's Note
According to historian Halit Erkiletlioğlu, the Hippodrome in Kayseri is thought to have been built during the reign of the Cappadocian king Ariarathes V Eusebes, who ruled between 163 and 131 BC. The king, who embraced and practiced Hellenic culture, moved his capital to Mazaka and gave the city the name Eusebeia, his father's title. Ariarathes V furnished his new capital with symbols of Hellenistic architecture; with structures such as walls, a palace, a circus, and a hippodrome, he fostered the development of cultural life and public activities.
