Although the Romans were de facto the sole supremacy of the Mediterranean afterwards, the remoteness of Asia Minor and reluctance to intervene with martial forces limited the reach of Roman power. Rhodes and Pergamon became collaborators of Roman supremacy rather than dependent states. They enjoyed substantial freedom of action and pursued their own interests until the late second century. This thesis suggests that Western Asia Minor in this era was, in fact, a multi-polar world, where Rome—the distant hegemony—Rhodes and Pergamon—the regional powers—exercised influence simultaneously. The post-Apamea system formed an interactive network, and this thesis will analyse the interactions between the hegemony and regional powers, as well as between the poles and the Greeks in Western Asia Minor.

Although the Romans de facto held the sole supremacy of the Mediterranean, Rhodes and Pergamon acted as independent states. Their relationship did not always go smoothly, whilst Rome’s dissatisfaction and enmity towards Rhodes and Pergamon grew steadily. The paper will analyse substantial events and turning points in the relationship between Rome and its primary allies in the Eastern Mediterranean from the Peace of Apamea (188 BC) to the aftermath of the Third Macedonian War (171‐168 BC): the disputes between Rhodes and Lycia with Roman interventions and Roman hostilities to Rhodes and Pergamon after the Third Macedonian War. By examining surviving literary accounts and comparative studies of the Rhodo‐Lycian and Pergamene‐Galatian conflicts, this paper suggests a Roman strategy to allies with whom they were dissatisfied. The Romans could sink their allies’ strength by granting autonomy to revolting areas whose armed rebellions had been suppressed by the allies recently and by encouraging them to revolt again.
