Marius was born in 157 BC in the town of Arpinum in southern Latium.
Given the repeated military debacles from 113 BC to 109 BC and the accusations that the oligarchy was open to flagrant bribery, it is not at all surprising that the virtuous new man who had worked with difficulty up the ladder of offices was elected as an alternative to the inept or corrupt nobility.
In 91 BC Marcus Livius Drusus was elected tribune and proposed a greater division of state lands, the enlargement of the Senate, and a conferral of Roman citizenship upon all freemen of Italy.

 THE PTOLEMAIC PERIOD
Ptolemy I Soter I (ruled 305-285 BC) was the founder of the Ptolemaic line, and he took the Egyptian throne after the death of Alexander IV.
Eventually, a propaganda campaign by Octavian and the actions of Cleopatra VII, the daughter of Ptolemy XII, and the sister-wife of Ptolemy XIII, provided an ideal pretext for the Romans to conquer Egypt.
During the Ptolemaic period and the subsequent Roman period, Alexandria was a thriving and cosmopolitan city, and by the mid-first century BC had a population of around half a million, including substantial numbers of Greeks and Jews.

 Greatest emporium in the world
Up to the time of Alexander the Great (Pella, 356 BC – Babylone, 323 BC), Egypt lacked permanent, suitable harbours on its northern coast, as those landing-places located at the mouth of some branches of the Delta (best known of which were the ones at Canopus and Pelusium) were of a temporary nature.
The date 116 BC of these Latin inscriptions is of special interest because it coincides with an event of global significance, namely the discovery of the monsoon winds in the Indian Ocean by Alexandrian navigators.
It is also perhaps not entirely irrelevant that in 55 BC, the Senate decided to send Gabinius at the head of a Roman army to restore Auletes to his throne and remain in Alexandria for the protection of the king against possible future revolts.

 Ataman Hotel - Mithradates VI Eupator
When Mithradates VI succeeded his father, Mithradates Euergetes, in 120 BC, he was then only a boy, and for a few years his mother ruled in his place.
About 115 BC, she was deposed and thrown into prison by her son, who thereafter ruled alone.
His posing as a liberator of the Greeks from Roman oppression and, later, his encouragement of social revolution in the Greek cities of the province of Asia can only be interpreted, in both cases, as the actions of an opportunist seeking immediate political advantages.

 Final Occultation of Pollux by the Moon - 117 BC - See Graphic - Astronomy.com Forums
I have now created a graphic demonstrating the event of 117 BC (-116) SEP 30 as viewed from the southeastern Pacific off the coast of South America.
I did try both years, and the one minute of latitude nor the 12 hours in time didn't make a difference, in shrinking the the 119 degrees of azimuth and the eight degrees difference the program is showing.
JM's calculations are correct; Starry Night shows the same occultation on 9/30 117 B.C. though the location I used (literally the middle of nowhere in the SE Pacific) showed an even deeper occultation than the one on your site.
