	Art produced in Pergamon (Pergamum)
		The Altar of Zeus was constructed by Eumenes II (197-159 BC) as a memorial of the victory against the Galatians and taking the Acropolis of Athens as an example.

		By depicting the victory of the Greek gods over the giants, the altar symbolically celebrated the triumph of the city of Pergamon in the newly conquered lands of Anatolia, hence proclaimed the city as the legitimate continuation of the Greek civilization, a second Athens located far from the mainland Greece.
