Following the last wishes of King Attalus III, the Kingdom of Pergamum was bequeathed to the Roman people in 133 BC: such an event came as a considerable shock to the notables of the famous city. These influential figures, wealthy and recognized by their fellow citizens, nevertheless consolidated their domination. Integrated into the empire, the most brilliant among them formed a brilliant elite and sometimes became privileged partners of the emperors on the political level.
