'''Pergamos''' (Greek: '''Πέργαμος''', meaning "height or elevation", modern day '''Bergama''' in Turkey) was an ancient Greek city, in Mysia, northwestern Anatolia, 16 miles from the Aegean Sea, located on a promontory on the north side of the river Caicus (modern day Bakırçay), that became an important kingdom during the Hellenistic period, under the Attalid dynasty, 282-129 BC. | |||
The Attalids 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. | The Attalids were among the most loyal supporters of Rome among the Hellenistic successor states.
