 | | In 205 BCE, after the "Peace of Phoenice", Rome turned to Attalus, as its only friend in Asia, for help concerning a religious matter. |
 | | Valerius Laevinus heading a distinguished delegation, was dispatched to Pergamon, to seek Attalus' aid. |
 | | According to Livy, Attalus received the delegation warmly, "and conducted them to Pessinus in Phrygia" where he "handed over to them the sacred stone which the natives declared to be "the Mother of the Gods," and bade them carry it to Rome". |
