Archelaus who was a Roman client prince was the last to rule as a king of Cappadocia.
He was a Cappadocian Greek nobleman, possibly of Macedonian descent and was the first king of Cappadocia of wholly non-Persian blood.
He ruled over Cappadocia for many years before being deposed by Tiberius who took possession of Cappadocia for Rome.
The region of Cappadocia produced some notable Greek individuals in antiquity, such as Apollonius of Tyana (1st century ad) who was a Greek Neo-Pythagorean philosopher who became well known in the Roman Empire and Aretaeus of Cappadocia (81–138 AD) who was a native Greek, born in Cappadocia and is considered to have been one of the foremost surgeons on antiquity.
He was the first to distinguish between diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus, and the first to provide a detailed description of an asthma attack.

By late antiquity the Cappadocian Greeks had largely converted to Christianity.
They were so thoroughly devout to Christianity that by the 1st century AD, the region of Cappadocia served as a stronghold for Christian Monasticism and was of significance importance in the history of early Christianity.
In the early centuries of the Common Era Cappadocia produced three prominent Greek patristic figures, known as the three hierarchs.
They were Basil the Great (c. 330–79), Bishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia.
Gregory of Nazianzus (c. 330–c.
389 AD) (later known as Saint Gregory the Theologian) and Gregory of Nyssa (died c. 394).
These Cappadocian Greek fathers of the fourth century revered the ancient Greek cultural pursuit of virtue, even studying Homer and Hesiod and “stood squarely in the tradition of Greek culture”.
