Philetairos was the founder of the Attalid dynasty which ruled Pergamon for 150 years; his descendants honored him with spectacular realistic portraits, that not only commemorate him as one of Alexander's contemporaries, but especially as an exemplary king in his own right. The last of the dynasty kings, Attalos III, who died without an heir in 133 BC, willed Pergamon to Rome.
