It WIS originally called Maiaca, afterwards Euscbeia. (Sleph. I.v. Kaimititia, quoting Sliah. p. 537.) The site in the volcanic country at the foot of Argaeus espoeed the people to many inconveniences. It ''^t^, however, iJie rnidenoe of the kings of Cappidocia. Tigranes. the ally of Mithridales the Great, took Ihe town (Stnb.p.S39; Apgaan, J/i(Ariilc.S7),and carried off Ihe people with other Capjadocuns to his new town Tigranoeerta; but some ot them returned atier (he Romans look Tigisnocerta, Strahohaaaslory that the people of Mataca used the code of Chsrondas and kept a law-man (vi>)Uft6i) to eip)ain (he law; his functions coiresponded to those of a Roman juris- consQltna {niuxis). The Komao emperor TiMriua, after the death of Archelaus, made Cappadocia a Roman province, and changed the name of JLIazaca to Caesaivia (Eutnp. vii. 11 ; Suidas, j. c. TiCfpiot).

In the reign of Valerian it was taken by Sapor, who put to death many thousands of the citi- zens; at this time it was said to have a popula- tion of 400.000 (Zonar. lii. p. 630). Justinian af. terwards repaired Ihe walhi of Caisareia (Procop. AtiL V. 4). Csesarcia was Ibe metropolis of Csp- padocia from the time of Tiberius; and in the later division of Cappadocia into Prima and Secunda, il was the metropoUa of Cappadocia Prima.
