ARISTONIK I "DRŽAVA SUNCA", II. DIO
ARISTONICUS AND "CIVITAS SOLIS", PART 2

Summary/Abstract: Engrossed in its internal affairs, the Republic failed to perform a timely reaction to the uprising of Aristonicus, who succeeded in putting a significant part of the former Kingdom of Pergamon under his control. The area under Aristonicus’s control was called „Heliopolis“, and a number of revolutionary social and democratic measures were implemented in the newly established „Sun City“. However, reactions on the parts of the Republic and local counter-revolutionary forces, as well as an intervention by neighbouring kingdoms in Asia Minor ensued shortly afterwards.After four years of war, the movement of Heliopolites was crushed by military force.
