		Aristonicus, perhaps believing himself the rightful heir to the throne in Pergamum, appealed to slaves and serfs and joined forces with them in a common cause against Roman authority.
		Aristonicus warred against Rome's allies in Asia Minor - the rulers of Pontus, neighboring Bithynia and Paphlagonia, and Cappadocia - and he easily defeated them.
		Aristonicus surrendered, and the Romans took him and the treasure of Pergamum's ruling family to Rome, where Aristonicus was paraded through the streets, thrown into prison and executed by strangulation.

		A war in the meantime was kindled in Asia by Aristonicus, the son of Eumenes by a concubine: this Eumenes was the brother of Attalus.
		Soon after Perperna, the Roman consul, who was appointed successor to Grassus, hearing of the event of the war, hastened to Asia; and defeating Aristonicus in battle, near the city Stratonice to which he had fled, reduced him by famine to surrender.
		Aristonicus, by command of the senate, was strangled in prison at Rome; for a triumph could not be celebrated on his account, because Perperna had died at Pergamus on his return.

		He had begun his reign by massacring all his father’s friends and their families, and ended it as an amateur gardener and dilettante modeller in wax; so perhaps the malice of insanity had something to do with the bequest, if indeed it was not a forgery.
		Aristonicus, a natural son of a previous king, Eumenes II., set it at naught and aspired to the throne.
		The Romans had their hands full, and Aristonicus might have so established himself as to give them trouble, had not some of the Asiatic cities headed by Ephesus, and aided by the kings of Cappadocia and Bithynia, opposed him.

	Eumenes III - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eumenes III (originally named Aristonicus) was the pretender to the throne of Pergamon.
		Because the Romans were slow in securing their claim, Aristonicus, the illegitimate son of the earlier Pergamene king Eumenes II, filled the power vacuum, claiming the throne and taking the dynastic name Eumenes.
		At first he tried to gain support by promising freedom to the Greek cities of the coast.

		The Decurion in charge of the cavalry made one attempt to demand entrance into the city to arrest Aristonicus, and was forced to retreat under a hail of stones and arrows.

		Now he was banished from Smyrna, after being defeated in a naval battle near the Cymaean territory by the Ephesians, but he went up into the interior and quickly assembled a large number of resourceless people, and also of slaves, invited with a promise of freedom, whom he called Heliopolitae.

		Relying on the aversion of the Asiatics to the foreign rule which awaited them, Aristonicus, a natural son of Eumenes II, made his appearance in Leucae, a small seaport between Smyrna and Phocaea, as a pretender to the crown.
		Phocaea and other towns joined him, but he was defeated at sea off Cyme by the Ephesians--who saw that a steady adherence to Rome was the only possible way of preserving their privileges--and was obliged to flee into the interior.
		But not long after this victory Aristonicus was attacked by Marcus Perpenna, the successor of Crassus; his army was dispersed, he himself was besieged and taken prisoner in Stratonicea, and was soon afterwards executed in Rome.

		In this situation, it is understandable that the free cities did not support Aristonicus; since little support came from slaves, only the Macedonian colonies thought to gain from the pretender's victory.
		This document is to be dated in the time of the war against Aristonicus, but the editors regret that it does not add much to our knowledge about this troubled period.
		However, it shows at least that the war affected regions much farther inland than is usually thought and that the capture of Aristonicus did not put an end to it.

		For instance, in his edition of Aristonicus' scholia on the Iliad (1853) Friedlaender has a still useful chapter on Aristarchus' schematologia, and Ribbach discusses in his De Aristarchi Samothraci arte grammatica (1883) Aristarchus' views on analogy in matters of prosody, flexion, and orthography.
		Aristonicus' explications of the signs used by Aristarchus in his commentaries on the Iliad remain our main source, but the scholia on the Odyssey, Hesiod, Pindar, Apollonius of Rhodes, the works of Apollonius Dyscolus, Apollonius Sophista and other grammarians have also been used.
		Therefore, special care should be taken for it is possible that, for instance, in reporting Aristarchus' view Aristonicus introduces modern terminology or reshapes it in order to make Aristarchus conform more to ideas of his time.

		After Aristonicus was taken prisoner, the people of Marseilles sent ambassadors to Rome to intercede for the Phocaeans their friends, whose city and even name the senate had ordered to be destroyed, because, both at that time, and previously in the war against Antiochus, they had taken up arms against the Roman people.
		Rewards were then bestowed on the princes who had given aid against Aristonicus; to Mithridates of Pontus was allotted Greater Phrygia; to the sons of Ariarathes, king of Cappadocia, who had fallen in that war, were assigned Lycaonia and Cilicia;
		Their king Erotimus, relying on his seven hundred sons, whom he had had by his concubines, and dividing his forces, infested at one time Egypt, and another Syria, and procured a great name for the Arabians, by exhausting the strength of their neighbours.
