The
healing centre of the ancient world
Pergamon
- Pergamum : after
Athens lost its political importance in the 2nd century
BC, Pergamon of Asia Minor and Alexandria of Egypt
became the two main centres of ancient civilisation.
At this time Pergamon's famous library and the Temple
of Zeus were constructed along with the vast artificial
terraces on the hillside, which allowed the city to
spread downward. All its rulers were devoted patrons
of the arts and sciences, with exception of the last,
Attalus III, who in an act of extraordinary eccentricity
bequeathed his entire kingdom to Rome. Pergamon, henceforth
became the capital of the roman province of Asia,
which stretched as far south as Caunos. The most spectacular
structure is certainly the theatre, a remarkable piece
of engineering built into the steep hillside. At the
Acropolis, a vast gymnasium, the Temple of Demeter
and Helenistic houses and shops on the streets rutted
by chariot wheels are the places to visit. The lowest
part of the the city is now largely covered by the
modern town of Bergama. The collosal Roman "Red
Basillicia" was originally a temple of Serapis
and later concerted to a church by the Byzantines.
Finally, the Asclepion, the foremost medical centre
of the world, founded primarily on the fame and reputation
of medical writer of late antiquity, who was born
in Pergamon in AD 29.
