==Overview==
 
During the Third Mithridatic War, Pompey appointed his brother-in-law Scaurus as military tribune in charge of the Judea region, which was then involved in a bloody civil war between the brothers [[John Hyrcanus II]] and [[Aristobulus II]]. In 63 BCE the Romans took control of the region, sided with [[John Hyrcanus II]] while forcing his Nabatean allies to withdraw. In 62 BCE [[Scaurus]] briefly besieged [[Petra]], until the Nabatean king [[Aretas III Philhellenos]] paid the tribute.
