I know, it is pretty complicated.
It really is about Greek history not Roman, even if Anatolia became de facto a Roman province after Attalus' will. In French the word "édilitaire" has lost the Roman connotation but not in English I believe. In French it just means "concerning public works".
Nickel, I've read this book and many other books on the same subject and I have never found exactly what I am looking for.
Thank you both for your enlightening comments.
