Abstract
On occasion some good things were said of Cappadocians, but they were usually lodged in discussions of their magnificent horses. The grassy plains fed them well and let them run. Its mountains, however, were cold and snow-filled in the winter, making the route from Constantinople to Antioch or Jerusalem impassable. Politically, the region was a buffer state courted by the Romans because of [End Page 126] their problems with Persians; it also provided an important connection for talks with Armenia. Furthermore, the Roman government itself oversaw large ranches as well as factories that produced clothing and arms.
