ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
The rise of caliph Hisham ibn 'Abd al-Malik to the throne in 724 marked the renewal of the Arabs' almost annual raids against Byzantine territories in Asia Minor, which had been suspended due to domestic trouble. As part of those raids, in 726 the Arab general Maslamah ibn 'Abd al-Malik captured and plundered Caesarea, the most important city in Cappadocia. |
