Visibility and movement: towards a GIS-based integrated approach

“…Written sources and archaeological remains document this pattern of communication routes, consisting of strategic connections along a set of way stations. It can still be recognized in the pattern of Seljuk caravanserais in historical times (Hild 1977).…”

“…The major waypoints were still maintained as traffic nodes, but instead of emphasizing speedy connections between the major administrative centres, the Byzantine road system constitutes a more fine-grained transport network that also connected the minor religious and military centres in the area. In eastern Cappadocia we have several archaeological remains that relate to the Byzantine road system (Hild 1977;Hild / Restle 1981): in the area of interest a bridge on the road from Kayseri to Malatya is documented (Hild 1977, Abb. 68).…”

“…The genetic algorithm was applied to find the minimal spanning tree that connects the waypoints on the route from Caesarea to Arasaxa and those on the route branching off to the southeast towards Cebir via Phlabianai, as specified by Hild (1977). The results are shown in Fig.…”

“…The Byzantine road system in Cappadocia (Turkey) is known in reasonable detail. Reconstructions of the road system by Hild (1977) show the most probable location of the routes that were built and maintained by the imperial administration. Unlike the earlier Roman routes, these were not only built to establish fast connections between major cities; rather, they were intended to connect all administrative and religious centres in the area.…”
