Claudiopolis (Cappadocia)

Claudiopolis (Greek: Κλαυδιόπολις, city of Claudius) was an ancient city of Cappadocia mentioned by Pliny (v. 24).

In 493, during the Isaurian War (492-497), the Roman general Diogenianus besieged Claudiopolis, but his army was blocked by the Isaurians.

In his help came John Gibbo, who won an overwhelming victory against the Isaurians.
