Temple of Dionysus in Pergamon

The Temple of Dionysus in the acropolis of Pergamon (modern Bergama) was built during the Hellenistic period, likely in the 3rd–2nd centuries BCE, during the reign of the Attalid dynasty. This was a time when Pergamon experienced cultural and religious flourishing, and the cult of Dionysus—the god of wine, ecstasy, and theater—played a key role in the spiritual and public life of the city.
