When Rome concurred other empires they often would adopt religious or political figures into their own. If you read the history of Rome as early as 100 BC this was the practice. At the time of Augustus Caesar there were priest who worshiped the Sun god and the chief priest was called Pontiff Maximus. As you may know later this name was given to the pope in 313 ad.

What does the name Pergamos mean?

Pergamos in Greek means, "Married to the tower." Pergos means "tower," Gamos means "married." Ancient Babylonian priests moved from Babylon when the Medes and Persians conquered Babylon, to Pergamos and established their much adored cultic idolatry, pagan worship, with various customs and deities. The pagan form of worship originated from the tower of Babel, thus the love of the tower of Babel was the beginning of pagan worship in Babylon, arriving in Pergamos after Persian conquest. Pergamos was to represent everything the original cultic priests in the City of Babel envisioned and instituted. Greek mythology and Roman Imperial cultic worship influenced this pagan city of idolatry in later times.
