Français : Eumène II

English: Eumenes II of Pergamum (ruled 197 BC - 160 BC) was king of Pergamon and a member of the Attalid dynasty. He allied with the Romans to oppose Seleucid expansion towards the Aegean, leading to the defeat of Antiochus III the Great at the Battle of Magnesia in 190 BC. Following the peace of Apamea in 188 BC, he received the provinces of Phrygia, Lydia, Lycia and Pamphylia from his Roman allies, as they had no desire for more territory but wished for a strong state in Asia Minor as a bulwark against any possible Seleucid expansion in the future.

Français : Eumène II de Pergame (qui régna de 197 à 160 av. J.-C.) fut roi de Pergame et l'un des représentants de la dynastie des Attalides. ll s'allia aux Romains pour s'opposer à l'expansion des Séleucides vers la mer Égée, ce qui conduisit à la défaite d'Antiochos III le Grand à la bataille de Magnésie en 190 av. J.-C. Dans le sillage de la paix d'Apamée en 188 av. J.-C., il reçut de ses alliés romains les provinces de Phrygie, de Lydie et de Pamphylie, car ils ne désiraient pas davantage de terres mais cherchaient à établir un état fort en Asie Mineure pour prévenir toute possibilité d'expansion séleucide à l'avenir.
