It was also used by a number of other cities that were under Attalid control. It continued to be minted and circulated down to the time of Hadrian , long after the kingdom was bequeathed to Rome .

Eumenes III originally named Aristonicus , in Greek language Greek Aristonikos was the pretender to the throne of Pergamon . When the Pergamene King Attalus III 138&ndash 133 BC died in 133 BC, he bequeathed his kingdom to the Roman Republic Romans . Because the Romans were slow in securing their claim, Aristonicus, who claimed to be the illegitimate son of the earlier Pergamene King Eumenes II 197&ndash 160 BC , father of Attalus III, filled the power vacuum, claiming the throne and taking the Attalid dynasty dynastic name Eumenes III. At first he tried to gain support by promising freedom to the Greece Greek cities of the coast. When this failed he sought support in the interior promising freedom to both Slavery in antiquity slaves and serfs . To what extent he was a social revolutionary or simply a dynastic contender to the throne is uncertain. He was joined by Blossius Blossius of Cumae , the Stoicism Stoic who had been a supporter of Tiberius Gracchus and promised to found a state called Heliopolis in which all were to be free. The first army sent against him in 131 BC was led by Publius Licinius Crassus Dives Mucianus , who was killed. However, Eumenes III was defeated and captured in 129 BC by a Roman force under Marcus Perperna , the consul for 130 BC. After his surrender, he was paraded through Rome and executed by strangulation. References Hansen, Esther V. 1971 . The Attalids of Pergamon .

Tiberius was accused by his political opponents of attempting to provoke a popular uprising, and have himself crowned King. Eventually, he was assassinated , and his body thrown into the river Tiber . After the death of Tiberius Gracchus, Blossius was interrogated by the consul s on the matter. Blossius freely admitted that he had done anything Tiberius had asked. The consuls asked What? What would you do if Tiberius ordered you to burn the Capitoline Hill Capitol ? He answered that Tiberius would never have given such an order. Being pressed on the point, though, Blossius eventually stated that Tiberius would only have ordered such a thing, if it were in the true interests of the Roman people. After that, he was released. Blossius went to the province of Asia Roman province Asia , where he took part in Eumenes III Aristonicus popular uprising against Rome , aiding in the organization of the Heliopolis state .

Furthermore, Flaccus was fined by his co consul. Mucianus was supported by the people of Rome who wished Flaccus to obey the ruling of the Pontifex, but they remitted the fine. Ironically, Mucianus himself violated prior taboos by leaving Italy with an army, something his kinsman Publius Licinius Crassus Dives consul 205 BC the consul of 205 BC had refused to do more than seventy years earlier.

Ariarathes V Eusebes Philopator lang grc , Ariar th s Euseb s Philop t r reigned 163 130 BC or 126 BC was son of the preceding king Ariarathes IV of Cappadocia and Antiochis . Previously called Mithridates, he reigned 33 years, 163 130 BC, as king of Cappadocia . He was distinguished by the excellence of his character and his cultivation of philosophy and the liberal arts . According to Livy r livy 42.19 , he was educated at Rome but this account may perhaps refer to another Ariarathes, while Ariarathes Eusebes probably studied in his youth in Athens , where he seems to have become a friend of the future king Attalus II Philadelphus . In consequence of rejecting, at the wish of the Roman Republic Romans , a marriage with Laodice V the sister of Demetrius I Soter , the latter made war upon him, and brought forward Orophernes of Cappadocia , his brother and one of the supposititious sons of the late king, as a claimant of the throne. Ariarathes was deprived of his kingdom, and fled to Rome about 158 BC. He was restored by the Romans, who, however, allowed Orophernes to reign jointly with him, as is expressly stated by Appian r app 47 , and implied by Polybius r poly 32.10 . The joint government, however, did not last long for we find Ariarathes shortly afterwards named as sole king. In 154 BC, Ariarathes assisted the king of Pergamon Pergamum Attalus II in his war against Prusias II of Bithynia , and sent his son Demetrius in command of his forces. He fell in 130 BC, in the war of the Romans against Eumenes III Aristonicus of Pergamum. In return for the succours which he had brought the Romans on that occasion, Lycaonia and Cilicia were added to the dominions of his family. By his wife Nysa of Cappadocia who was the daughter of King Pharnaces I of Pontus he had six children but they were all, with the exception of one, killed by their mother, that she might obtain the government of the kingdom.
