The Roman deity imported from Pergamum is Asclepius, the god of medicine and healing. His cult was established in Rome during the late Republic, particularly after a plague in the 3rd century BCE. Asclepius was often associated with the healing practices of the Sanctuary of Asclepius in Pergamum, which was renowned for its medical treatments and was a center of healing in the ancient world. His worship included rituals, offerings, and the establishment of temples dedicated to his healing powers.
