Philadelphia—perhaps one of the first ancient cities with the name—is established in 189 BCE by King Eumenes II of Pergamon, who names the city for the love of his brother, who is to succeed him as Attalus II, and whose loyalty has earned him the nickname, Philadelphos, literally meaning "one who loves his brother".
