The Aristonicus Uprising, also known as the Aristonicus Revolt, was a revolt in Pergamon, which began under the leadership of King Eumenes III (also known as Aristonicus), between 133 and 129 BC.

Origin of Eumenes III

Little is known about Eumenes III. He was originally named Aristonicus, and claimed to be the illegitimate son of the Pergamene king Eumenes II (197-160 BC). Шаблон:Sfn This would have also made him the brother of king Attalus III (138 - 133 BC).

Course of the uprising

After the death of his brother, Attalus III in 133 BC, Eumenes III was in line to become the King of Pergamon, but a man named Eudemus suddenly declared that Attalus III had actually named him as the next King of Pergamon in his will. Aristonicus was greatly offended by this, and therefore decided to take power by force. At first, Aristonicus seized power in the coastal city of Levki (between Smyrna and Phocaea). He later adopted the name of his father Eumenes III and began to seize power in cities that did not obey him. Further events are described by Strabo:Шаблон:SfnШаблон:CquoteSubsequently, Aristonicus managed to win a number of victories against Rome and its allies. the most vivid of which is mentioned by many ancient historians: Strabo, Plutarch, but the most detailed victory over Publius Licinius Crassus was described by Eutropius:Шаблон:SfnШаблон:CquoteHaving learned about the failure of Crassus, in 130 BC, the consul Marcus Perperna went to correct the situation and did it very successfully: having gathered an army, he landed in Asia Minor and unexpectedly attacked Aristonicus, defeating his army. Aristonicus had no choice but to flee to the city of Stratonicea.Шаблон:Sfn

The liberation of cities and territories previously captured by Aristonicus began. The Roman army dealt with the rebels particularly cruelly: they poisoned water and food, while torturing and killing prisoners. Under this pressure, Aristonicus surrendered. He was sent to Rome, where he was strangled in prison. However, even without Aristonicus, his troops fought against the Roman army for one more year. In 129 BC, the Roman army, under the leadership of the consul Manius Aquilius, finally destroyed the remnants of the rebel units. A loyal friend of Aristonicus, Blossius could not survive the loss of his friend and ended his life by suicide.Шаблон:Citation needed
