Years: 132BCE - 132BCE
Aristonicus, as Eumenes III, initially tries to gain support by promising freedom to the Greek cities of the coast.
When this fails he seeks support in the interior promising freedom to both slaves and serfs.
To what extent he is a social revolutionary or simply a dynastic contender to the throne is uncertain.
He is joined by Blossius of Cumae, the Stoic who had been a supporter of the failed reforms of the Gracchi in Rome and promises to found a state called Heliopolis, its capital a utopian “City of the Sun,” in which all are to be free.
The movement spreads among the oppressed.
