(Redirected from Eumenes II)
Eumenes II of Pergamum (ruled 197 BC - 160 BC) was king of Pergamon and a member of the Attalid dynasty. He allied with the Romans to oppose Seleucid expansion towards the Aegean, leading to the defeat of Antiochus III the Great at the Battle of Magnesia in 190 BC. Following the peace of Apamea in 188 BC, he received the provinces of Phrygia, Lydia, Lycia and Pamphylia from his Roman allies, as they had no desire for more territory but wished for a strong state in Asia Minor as a bulwark against any possible Seleucid expansion in the future.
