Kappadokia was in central eastern Asia Minor and was famous for its horses, its fruit orchards and its worship of the mother goddess Ma. This list covers Kappadokian armies from the collapse of the Achaemenid Persian monarchy until the defeat of Ariarathes by Perdikkas, one of Alexander the Great’s successors. It also covers the armies from the revival under Ariarathes II until incorporation as a Roman province under Tiberius. Mounted nobles wore armour which could include parapleuridia extending coverage to the whole leg and some may have ridden partly-armoured horses, since the nobles of their Armenian neighbours later became cataphracts, and in the Persian army at Gaugamela in 331 BC, they and the Armenians were deployed to balance heavy Massagetai and Bactrians on the opposite flank. They were initially armed in Persian style with javelins, but Eumenes after 321 BC probably gave at least his bodyguard Macedonian-style lances. Light horse used javelins. Herodotos describes the infantry as using short spear, javelins and small shield, but after 280 BC they adopted the Galatian long thureos shield and longer sword. Mercenary hoplites were replaced by Galatians. Reference: Armies of the Macedonian and Punic Wars D. Head.
