Bible Meaning: Province of good horses
Strong's Concordance #G2587
Cappadocia was a large Roman Empire province whose eastern border was the Euphrates River. Established in 17 A.D., the province represented the easternmost territory controlled by Rome and the biggest of Asia Minor's provincial areas.
Those from Cappadocia were present in Jerusalem when God poured out his Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost in 30 A.D.
Although the Bible contains almost no details regarding Cappadocia, the Apostle Peter addressed his first epistle to Christians living in the region and surrounding areas (1Peter 1:1).
