Rome’s first contacts with Asia Minor occurred during the period of the Second Punic war, when Pergamon formed an alliance with Rome against the Macedonian King Philip V. During the same period, increasing cultural contacts can be observed, as for example the official introduction of the Asia Minor cult of Cybele in Rome.
Since 2 BC, Rome’s increasingly complex political entanglements with the states of Asia Minor were paralleled by an extension of economic links, which were mirrored by the increasing presence of Roman and Italian citizens in the cities of Asia Minor.
Shortly after the first Roman engagement in Asia Minor, namely the war against Antiochos III, the cult of Dea Roma (the personification of the city of Rome) was established in Smyrna in 195 BC.
