[lorenfamily02.GED]
The prosperity and power of Pergamum continued under Attalus II Philadelphus, who reigned from about 160 to 138BC, and Attalus III Philometor, who reigned from 138 to 133BC; the last-named ruler, having no heirs, bequeathed his kingdom to the Romans. Under Roman control, Pergamum remained one of the chief cities of Asia Minor, being the capital of the province of Asia. The ruins of the ancient city surround the modern town of Bergama. Noted for their splendor, they include a Roman theater, an amphitheater, and a circus.
Attalus III had little interest in the business of governing. He studied botany and pharmacology, and, according to www.ancientanatolia.com, was disliked by his subjects for testing toxins on human subjects. He left his kingdom to Rome and died in 133 B.C.E.
