History

279/8 BC attracted Tolistobogier together with the Trokmern under the leadership of Leonnorios through Thrace. Their goal was the territory of Byzantium, where settled by the Celts. Here the Tolistobogier of Nicomedes I. were recruited as allies. After 275/4 BC occupied the Tolistobogier Northwest Phrygia. Urban center was Gordion and remained so until 189 BC Their territory extended in this period from Axylos in the south to the basin of Bolu to the north and to the region Ankara Haymana in the east. The trunk was organized into four principalities ( tetrarchies ).

The Tolistobogier were used by the Seleucid Antiochus since Hierax against the kingdom of Pergamon under the Attalids. However, only three of the four were tetrarchies with the Seleucids in the fight against Pergamum and thus also their allies, the Romans, allied. After 238 BC the Pergamum Attalus I defeated under the Tolistobogier at the sources of Kaikos. To 230 he hit her, the Tectosages and the Seleucids on Aphrodision. 189 BC, the Celts were defeated by an army under Gnaeus Manlius Vulso on Olympos. 184/3 BC subject to the Tolistobogier under the leadership of one of their tetrarch, Ortiagon, the Pergamenes under Eumenes II 179 BC they lost the basin of Bolu in Bithynia.

In the late 2nd century BC tried Sinorix one of the Tetrarch to gain supremacy over the Tolistobogier. But it was his son Deiotaros was sole ruler after 86 BC Mithridates VI. had carried out a massacre among the nobility of the Galatian tetrarch, which he finally was able to achieve the domination of the Celtic tribes of Trocmi and Tectosages. The end of the Trokmerreiches came with the establishment of the Roman provinces of Galatia, and Bithynia Germa, the Metropolis Ancyra and the polis Pessinus under which the territory was divided Tolistobogier.
