Ancient region of Asia Minor, in E central
Turkey. It was conquered by the Persians in
584 BC but in the 3rd century BC became an
independent kingdom. The region was annexed
as a province of the Roman Empire in AD 17.
The area includes over 600 Byzantine cave
churches cut into volcanic rock, dating
mainly from the 10th and 11th centuries.
