Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | C1 Refereed Article in a Scholarly Journal | Publisher/associated links: | https://www.jstor.org/stable/40379126 | English Abstract: | The paper discusses the actual arguments of king Eumenes II of Pergamum put forward against the Rhodians in the discussion at Rome about the status the Greek cities of Asia Minor should gain after the Romans defeated the Seleucid kingdom in 189 BCE. In contrast to the traditional understanding of this speech in modern scholarship, the paper argues that the king is not claiming all cities, but the ones which were previously part of the Attalid realm and were subsequently lost to the Seleucids. At the negotiations preceding the conclusion of the peace of Apamea, the Romans followed his arguments to the extent that though they freed the cities as requested by the Rhodians made nevertheless tributary to Eumenes those which were once under the control of the Attalid kings. |
