Caesaria-Eusebia was also known as Mazaca, and is the modern-day city of Kayseri. The site has been occupied since roughly 3000 BCE. Under Arirathes III, it became the center of the Ariarathid Kingdom. The last of the Arirathid kings, Archelaos, gave the city the name Caesaria, though it may have been Tiberius.
