		Ridgway cautiously suggested that construction began in 159, shortly before Eumenes II's death and during his co-regency with Attalos II, and ended with the death of Attalos III in 133 BC.
		The association of the "Philetairoi II" series with the emancipation of Pergamon from the Seleucid empire under Eumenes I, is still a very real possibility given the state of the evidence, which rests on eleven preserved coin hoards.
		The sad fact that the majority of extant royal images are hopelessly fragmentary and mostly severed from their original context creates obvious problems to those wishing to make sense out of the disorder of this large body of often undocumented material.

		The general name for this coastal area is Pamphylia (“all-tribes”), which may be connected with the tradition that southern Asia Minor was settled by a “mixed multitude” of Greeks after the collapse of the Mycenean civilization.

		As for the Athenian offering, it is usually known as the Lesser (or Small) Dedication because ancient authors mention that its figures were under-lifesize.
