 SparkNotes: The Roman Empire (60 BCE-160 CE): Context
By the middle of the final century BCE, however, Rome had become the center of a multi-continent empire stretching from Spain to Iraq.
In terms of the society, social enfranchisement, and elite circulation, the imperial era from 40 BCE to 161 CE was a dynamic period.
Thus, in almost every aspect, Roman history from 50 BCE to 161 CE illustrates those challenges characteristic of governance and societal order in all the relatively advanced states that followed it, in the early modern and modern centuries in particular.

In 61 BCE Caesar, as propraetor of Further Spain, took Balbus, now his protege, with him as his praefectus fabrum or "chief builder," a post to which Balbus was appointed by Caesar again in 58.

In 44 BCE Balbus gave his support to Octavian as Caesar's heir, and was rewarded for this by his election to the consulship, becoming Rome's first foreign-born consul in 40 BCE.

 orion Re: Date of Scrolls Deposit--55 BCE?
Nothing in Josephus hints at a correspondence to the "Aemilius killed" reference pre-63, whereas both in Pompey's conquest of 63 and in the year later that Aemilius was governor there is plenty of opportunity for Aemilius to have been involved in killing memorable to the writers of 4QMish(c).
So there is both a text, and some radiocarbon dates, which are not consistent with a 63 BCE deposit date for all of the scrolls at Qumran.
It is possible a 55 BCE latest date for all of the scrolls at Qumran _may_ be falsified on the basis of future radiocarbon data (I will do my best, to the extent I have any input, to attempt to falsify my own theory, i.e.

June was originally the fourth month of the pre-reformed Julian Calendar, which was established by Julius Caesar in 82 BCE.
This first reformed Julian Calendar proved very popular among the people of the Roman Republic and in 60 BCE, Caesar further expanded June to be 60 days long when he established the second reformed Julian Calendar.
Among the reforms and changes of the Augustan Calendar were the elimination of the month of Smarch; the introduction of the new month of July, named after the goddess of cooking, Julia Childs; and the reduction of the month of June to 31 days.

 SV: orion Qumran habitation dates
I think they're wrong in claiming knowledge of habitation in periods for which there is not evidence in the published archaeological record so far as I can see to justify those claims.
(By 8 BCE I mean the year that deposit of coins was buried--if I have the year right.) Maybe even that isn't evidence of habitation at Qumran, though it is the type of thing an inhabitant would do.
One could speculate that whoever was there in 8 BCE might also have been there in 9 BCE and 7 BCE (I would consider the chances good that there were--but would not claim this as knowledge).

Around 175 BCE, the Yuezhi tribes (probable related to the Tocharians) who lived in modern day Gansu, were defeated by the Xiongnu (Huns) tribes, and had to migrate towards the West into the Ili river area.
Sometime after 155 BCE, the Yuezhi were again defeated by an alliance of the Wusun and the Xiongnu, and were forced to move south, again displacing the Scythians, who migrated south towards Bactria, and south-west towards Parthia and Afghanistan.
The presence of the Scythians in north-western India during the 1st century BCE was contemporary with that of the Indo-Greek Kingdoms there, and it seems they initially recognized the power of the local Greek rulers.
