   There is still, however, a Community of Pergamon. Members of it are now visiting Athens. In 1922 Greece and Turkey made an exchange of populations and the Pergamenes were scattered.

   Founded about 1000 bc by Aeolian Greeks, the city [Assos] was successively ruled by Lydians, Persians, Pergamenes, Romans, and Byzantines, until Sultan Orhan Gazi (1288–1360) took it over for the Ottomans in 1330.

   Since Antiochus was diminished and the Pergamenes were allies of Rome, Hannibal went much farther east and visited distant Armenia, where Rome’s sway was barely recognized.
