First Pergamene-Bithynian War

Anatolian conflict in antiquity

The First Pergamene-Bithynian War was a regional conflict between the Kingdom of Pergamon and Bithynia. The initial conflict was sparked by the ambitions of Bithynian king Prusias I. Bithynia invaded the Kingdom of Pergamon to capitalize on their distraction in Macedonia. During the First Macedonian War, Pergamon joined the conflict on the side of Rome to gain glory and expand their holdings.
