Attalus made his capital the artistic and literary center of Asia Minor. Eumenes II, son of Attalus I, continued the Roman policy of his father and brought most of Asia Minor under his sway. To his reign belong the altar of Zeus and the development of the library, founded by his father, where a group of scholars established a school of grammatical study in opposition to the scholars of the Alexandrian library.
