 | | Hierax tried to defeat king Attalus I of Pergamum (241–197 BCE), but instead, the hellenised cities united under his banner, and his armies inflicted several severe defeats upon them, about 232 forcing them to settle permanently and to confine themselves to the region to which they had already given their name. |
 | | In the settlement of 64 BCE Galatia became a client-state of the empire, the old constitution disappeared, and three chiefs (wrongly styled “tetrarchs “) were appointed, one for each tribe. |
 | | On the death of the third king Amyntas in 25 BCE, however, Galatia was incorporated by Augustus in the Roman empire, though near his capital Ancyra (Ankara) Pylamenes, the king's heir, rebuilt a temple of the Phrygian goddess Men to venerate Augustus, as a sign of fidelity. |
