Abstract

At the Roman province of Asia, there were a large number of Greek cities. They were centers of trade, crafts and culture. However, depending on the region and location status and specialization of cities differed. Between them there were various contacts and confrontation. The most striking was the fight for the championship or in the spread of cults, or for the right to be the first and greatest metropolis of Asia. In many cities of Asia Minor confrontations II–I BC significantly affect the balance of power. Accordingly, the loss affected the political and socio-economic situation in some areas. Nevertheless Roman generals or the enemies of Rome sought to enlist the support of the cities of Asia Minor. Stay in Roman law did not affect the actual independence of Lydian cities and only emphasized their individuality.
