  • Pergamon or Pergamum /ˈpɜːrÉ¡É™mÉ™n/ or /ˈpɜːrÉ¡É™mÉ’n/; Ancient Greek: Πέργαμον, also referred to by its modern Greek form Pergamos Greek: Πέργαμος[a],[1] was a rich and powerful ancient Greek city in Mysia. It is located 26 kilometres 16 mi from the modern coastline of the Aegean Sea on a promontory on the north side of the river Caicus modern-day Bakırçay and northwest of the modern city of Bergama, Turkey. During the Hellenistic period, it became the capital of the Kingdom of Pergamon under the Attalid dynasty in 281–133 BC, who transformed it into one of the major cultural centres of the Greek world. Many remains of its impressive monuments can still be seen and especially the outstanding masterpiece of the Pergamon Altar.[2] Pergamon was the northernmost of the seven churches of Asia cited in the New Testament Book of Revelation.
