Editor's Note
Caesarea, also known as Mazaca, was an ancient city in what is now Kayseri. In Hellenistic and Roman times it was an important stop for merchants headed to Europe on the Silk Road, and it was the capital of Cappadocia, with Armenian and Cappadocian kings frequently fighting over the strategic city. It was renowned for the bishops of both the Greek Orthodox and Armenian Apostolic churches. After the Battle of Manzikert the city was taken over by the Sultanate of Rum and later the Ottomans, becoming reconfigured over time with Islamic and Ottoman architectural influences.
