SUMMARY
The Early Byzantine province of Cappadocia II in central Asia Minor was established in 371, with Tyana as its metropolis. From the 6th century onwards the landowners extended their properties at the expense of small farmers, economy and population growth, as well as against the interests of central administration. The province was raided by Tzans, Huns, Isaurian revolters, Persians and Arabs. After 669 the province was annexed to the theme of Anatolikon.
