		The Attalid kingdom was the rump state left after the collapse of the Lysimachian Empire.
		The Attalids, the descendants of Attalus, the father of Philetaerus who came to power in 282 BC, were among the most loyal supporters of Rome among the Hellenistic successor states.
		For support against the Seleucids, the Attalids were rewarded with all the former Seleucid domains in Asia Minor.

	Attalid dynasty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Pergamon or Pergamum is an ancient city on the coast of Asia Minor that became an important kingdom during the Hellenistic period, under the Attalid dynasty, 241 – 129 BCE.
		The Attalid dynasty, the descendents of Attalus I, who came to power in 241 BCE, were among the most loyal supporters of Rome among the Hellenistic successor states.
		For support against the Seleucids, the Attalids were rewarded with all the former Seleucid domains in Asia Minor.

	Fondazione Memmo
		The territory surrounding the city was granted to the Greek settlers by the Persian emperors Darius I and his son Xerxes I. In the turbulent era following the death of Alexander the Great (323 BC), Pergamum became the capital of a flourishing Hellenistic kingdom and one of the principal centers of Hellenistic civilization.
		The original Attalid territory around Pergamum (Mysia) was greatly expanded by 188 BC with the addition of Lydia, part of Phrygia, Lycaonia, and Pisidia (from 183 BC), all former Seleucid territories.
		The early Attalids erected the first structures of the upper (royal) city, but the later kings Eumenes II and Attalus III, by their extensive building and rebuilding, were mainly responsible for the Pergamon's great architectural and artistic reputation.

		Initially they ruled Pergamum as vassals of the Seleucid Kingdom, but Eumenes I declared himself independent of Antiochus I (263 BC); when he died in 241 he was succeeded by his nephew Attalus I, who defeated the Galatians and assumed the royal title; the dynasty received its name from him.
		The original Attalid territory around Pergamum (Mysia) was greatly expanded by 188 BC with the addition of Lydia (excluding most Greek coastal cities), part of Phrygia, Lycaonia, and Pisidia (from 183 BC), all former Seleucid territories.
		The Attalids made the city of Pergamum one of the most important and beautiful of all Greek cities in the Hellenistic Age; it is one of the most outstanding examples of city planning in that period.

		Dorothy Thompson investigates the Ptolemies and Egypt; Michel Austin, the Seleucids and Asia; Joseph Scholten, Macedon and the Mainland; and Elizabeth Kosmetatou, the Attalids of Pergamon.
		Kosmetatou, finally, investigates the Attalids, which she portrays as a remarkable family of low origins experiencing a rags to riches success.
		Kosmetatou then moves on to consider the public and political image of the Attalids and their astute and extremely subtle manipulation of imagery and political controversy.

		The Attalids and other Hellenistic monarchs promoted and protected these technites with an eye toward improving and maintaining the quality of their theatrical and musical performances.
		Less than 100 miles from Pergamon as the crow flies, Tralles was a subject-city of the Attalids, who there maintained a residence which usually was occupied by the high priest of the city as their representative.
		This Phrygian town was saved from the threat of defeat and enslavement at the hands of the Gauls by the victory of Eumenes II in 168 B.C. Like many other cities of the region, Tralles was so grateful for its deliverance that it instituted annual gymnastic and musical festivals in honor of the Pergamene kings.

		Aside from their own city, the Attalids ruled over a vast portion of Western Asia Minor, modeling its governing on that of their city.
		Pergamum was completely Hellenistic in culture upon its appropriation, a culture which Rome prized and imitated, and Pergamum became the capital of the East for the Imperial Cult.
		Under Attalid rule, Zeus and Asclepius were worshipped, and in 29 BC Augustus allowed the Pergamenes to build a temple in his honor which became the center for his worship in Asia Minor.

		Looking at the Attalids and their rule of Pergamon during this time period one can find certain strengths and weaknesses in architecture and sculpture to aid our understanding of this situation.
		The defeat of the giants by the Olympian gods was seen “…as a symbol, of the establishment of the fundamental values and institutions of Greek culture” (Pollitt 101).
		The Attalids were protectors of Greek culture and a sculpture of this sort demonstrated that (Pollitt 101).

	The splendor of Pergamos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		It is interesting that in the mid-third century the Attalids supported the Academy-Attalus II set up a statue in Athens to Carneades-and that from then on Pergamenes not only attended the Academy as students, but provided more than one of its directors.
		Yet the scholars at the Attalids' court could not match the Alexandrians' brilliance and flair.
		Not surprisingly, the Attalids were primarily interested in the visual arts: hence the art critics who thronged the circle round the ruling family.' Pergamon itself it might be argued, was a work of art, Malraux's museum-without-walls on the grand scale; it has been compared, inevitably, to Versailles.

		In direct competition with the Ptolemies and the Seleucids, the Attalids succeeded at establishing Pergamum as a leading cultural center, its library second only to that of Alexandria, its sculpture, woven tapestries, and ceramics prized throughout the Mediterranean.
		The Attalids likewise competed for control of the eastern luxury trade, relying on the overland route of the now ancient Persian Royal Road across Anatolia.
		When a dynastic dispute threatened to undermine the stability of Pergamum at the end of the second century BC, King Attalus III (138-133) left his royal domain to the people of the Roman Republic in his will.

		Gaining independence from the Selucidds, the kings of the Attalids, supported by the Romans, expanded their territory and asserted themselves as a great military and economic power in the Aegean.
		To commemorate this event, the Attalids set another frieze — smaller and less tempestuous than the outer one — within the sanctuary high on the top of the altar.
		This smaller frieze tells the story of the virgin priestess Auge, raped by Heracles and condemned by her father, manages to give birth to Telephus and hide him in a thicket before she is put out to sea in a boat.
