In the third century BC, the Attalid dynasts of Pergamon in
north-western Asia Minor were relatively minor players in
Hellenistic great-power politics. This all changed in 188 BC, when,
under the terms of the treaty of Apameia, the Attalids were granted
the greater share of the former Seleukid territories in western and
inner Anatolia. At a stroke, the Attalids were elevated to the
status of one of the major powers of the eastern Mediterranean; but
this new-found prominence came at a price. The vast expanse of
Attalid Asia Minor had been won not by conquest, but through a
pragmatic and humiliating grant by Roman commissioners. As a
result, the ideological and bureaucratic structures through which
the second-century Attalid rulers administered their kingdom
differed sharply from those of the other major Hellenistic
dynasties. With contributions from world-specialists on Hellenistic
history and coinage, this book is the first full-length study to be
dedicated to the political economy of the Attalid kingdom of
Pergamon, focusing in particular on its financial administration,
international relations, and the functioning of the state.
