From the Hellenistic age to Late Antiquity, Cappadocia, located in the centre of the Anatolian plateau, was criss-crossed by important roads travelled by transport animals, remembered in literary sources now for their extraordinary reproductive capacity now for their cost now for their great docility and usefulness in the service of man. The purpose of the present study is to verify the presence in ancient testimonies of beast of burden and to place this evidence within the broader economic, social and political framework of Cappadocia.
