Historians have long wondered at the improbable rise of the
Attalids of Pergamon after 188 BCE. The Roman-brokered Settlement
of Apameia offered a new map - a brittle framework for sovereignty
in Anatolia and the eastern Aegean. What allowed the Attalids to
make this map a reality and leave their indelible Pergamene imprint
on our Classical imagination? In this uniquely comprehensive study
of the political economy of the kingdom, Noah Kaye rethinks the
impact of Attalid imperialism on the Greek polis and the
multicultural character of the dynasty's notorious propaganda. By
synthesizing new findings in epigraphy, archaeology, and
numismatics, he shows the kingdom for the first time from the
inside. The Pergamene way of ruling was a distinctively
non-coercive and efficient means of taxing and winning loyalty.
Royal tax collectors collaborated with city and village officials
on budgets and minting, while the kings utterly transformed the
civic space of the gymnasium.
