Mount Erciyes (Turkish: Erciyes Dağı) is a massive stratovolcano located 25 km south of Kayseri, Turkey. Erciyes is the highest mountain in central Anatolia (3,916 metres). The volcano is heavily eroded, but may have erupted as recently as 253 BC, as may be depicted on Roman era coins. Strabo wrote that in his time the summit was never free from snow and that those few who ascended it could see both the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.

Ghazw or Ghazah (plural ghazawāt) (Arabic: غزو) was originally an Arabic term referring to the battles in which the Islamic prophet Muhammad personally participated. It has since evolved into a term for battle associated with the expansion of Muslim territory. The term ghāzī or Warrior for the faith came to represent participants in these later battles and is cognate with the terms ghāziya and maghāzī. In modern Turkish the word means "veteran".
