  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).
In 61 Gabinius, then praetor, tried to win public favour by providing games on a scale of unusual splendour, and in 58 managed to secure the consulship, not without suspicion of bribery.

She was now there in order to mollify Gabinius, out of her concern for her relations that were captives at Rome, which were her husband and her other children.
After this Gabinius brought Hyrcanus to Jerusalem, and committed the care of the temple to him; but ordained the other political government to be by an aristocracy.
So Gabinius came to Jerusalem, and settled the government as Antipater would have it; thence he marched, and fought and beat the Nabateans: as for Mithridates and Orsanes, who fled out of Parthin, he sent them away privately, but gave it out among the soldiers that they had run away.

 [1999: September] Re: Gabinius in Macedonia?
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.

At this time, consequently, Gabinius was acquitted; but he was again brought to trial on some other charges — chiefly that he had plundered more than a hundred million denarii from the province — and was convicted.
Gabinius after restoring him in this fashion sent no message home concerning what he had done, in order that he might not be the one to announce his own illegal acts.
The people accordingly were almost for putting the jurymen to death also, but, when they escaped, turned their attention to the remaining charges against him and cause him to be convicted on those at any rate.

 orion Re: Date of Scrolls Deposit--55 BCE?
The context for the scrolls deposit--if the copper scroll is part of the scrolls deposit and if the copper scroll represents a real temple wealth hiding--is any anticipation of an invasion of Jerusalem in which there is some advance warning.
It is a context in which war upon Gabinius's return would be inevitable, and both wealth and temple treasure would go into the desert, into hiding, in anticipation of this--the texts at Qumran being an artifact of this event.
Note that Gabinius (after the first revolt of Alexander) at 1.169 "restores" (katagagwn) Hyrcanus II as high priest, perhaps implying differences in regimes and control in this period.

All of the latter, however, except a Lucius Trebellius and Lucius Roscius, out of fear of the multitude would not say a word in opposition; and those two men, who had the courage, were unable to redeem any of their promises by either word or deed.
Rather press on all the more for this very reason to a goal which is the friendship of the majority and the common advantage of us all, and scorn your traducers.
Gabinius was incensed, and delayed the balloting regarding Pompey, but introduced a new motion concerning the same man. The first seventeen tribes to register an opinion decided that Trebellius was at fault and might be no longer tribune.

Gabinius said that he did that for the sake of the republic, because he was afraid of the fleet of Archelaus- because he thought that otherwise the sea would be entirely full of pirates.
I suppose it was necessary to find out a very civil man indeed, who should be able to prevail on one whom you call the most avaricious of men, not to despise immoderately two hundred and forty millions of sesterces.
He says, no. For he had departed from Rome in deference to the authority, not of Gabinius, whose business it was not, but of Publius Lentulus, a most illustrious man, given to him by the Senate, and with a definite design, and with very sanguine hopes.
