  Aulus Gabinius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aulus Gabinius, Roman statesman and general, and supporter of Pompey, was a prominent figure in the later days of the Roman Republic.
By two other measures of Gabinius, loans of money to foreign ambassadors in Rome were made non- actionable (as a check on the corruption of the senate) and the senate was ordered to give audience to foreign envoys on certain fixed days (February 1 - March 1).
During his absence in Egypt, where he had been sent by Pompey, without the consent of the senate, to restore Ptolemy Auletes to his kingdom, Syria had been devastated by robbers, and Alexander, son of Aristobulus, had again taken up arms with the object of depriving Hyrcanus of the high-priesthood.

This seems to be Aulus Gabinius, consul in 58 BC, who was proconsul of Syria in 57 and 56 (apparently: he was back in Rome on trial for various offenses in 55).
The system that Gabinius set in place replaced the rule of a single Hasmonean prince (actually the high priest) with a set of five regional councils or synhedria.
Before he was consul Gabinius served as a legate with Pompey in the Roman east (especially Armenia), when Macedon had been under the Roman thumb for roughly a century.

And all this body went to the consuls to implore their favour for Cicero; but Piso refused to see them, and Gabinius treated them with the greatest insolence, which caused such indignation in the assembly that Ninnius the tribune made a motion (which was carried unanimously) that the senate also should put on mourning robes.
He, becoming accomplished in all these arts, despised this most prudent city to such a degree that he thought that all his lusts and all his atrocities could be concealed, if he only thrust his ill-omened face into the forum.
