Pergamon

Mysia (Asia Minor)

Pergamon was a major Greek city in Mysia, northwestern Asia Minor, near modern Bergama, Turkey; it was the capital of the Attalid kingdom and famous for its library. The physician Galen was born and trained there before his career at Rome. In late antiquity Pergamon was also the seat of a Neoplatonist school, among whose students was Eusebius of Myndus.
