SUMMARY
The death of the king of Pergamon, Attalus III (133 BC), and the ensuing formation of the province of Asia (129 BC) presented Rome directly with the problems of that region. However, the clumsy handling at the level of both external (mainly with respect to the Pontus) and internal policy led to the tumult of the Mithradatic Wars in 88 BC. |
