Historical background
SENTIA
(101 BC)
The year 101 is still dominated by unrest in the West. Marius crushes the Cimbrians in Cisalpine and puts an end to the barbarian invasions in Gaul. In the East, Mithridates VI of Pontus (121-63 BC) and Nicomedes III of Bithynia (128-94 BC) shared Paphlagonia and occupied Galatia.
