PROBLEMS ABOUT LUCIUS CORNELIUS SCIPIO ASIATICUS; ASIAG (ENUS); ASIAGENE(S) (?) AND THE BARBARIAN CAMPAIGNS AGAINST MACEDONIA AND HELLAS (119–87 BC)AND HELLAS (119–87 BC)

Summary/Abstract: The military actions between the people of the Scordisci and Lucius C. Scipio Asiagenus are solely mentioned by Appian. The report seems pretty intriguing; besides, it became the subject of various interpretations particularly due to the way of presentation of the information. Most of the hypotheses refer the above military-political activity of L. C. Scipio Asiagenus to the 80ies of the 1st c. BC. The year 88/87 BC can result from the subtraction of302 from 390 ВС, and/or 32 from 120/119 ВС. One would arrive to the period 85/84 BC by subtracting 302 from 387/386 BC, and/or 32 from 118/117 ВС. We can arrive at the year 82/81 BC, if we take away 32 from 114/113 BC. The people of the Scordisci, who had dominated for almost a century over the west-Thracian and other dynasties, found themselves in the position of losers compelled to take on the pressure of Burebista and endorse his power. The decrease of their resistance was a consequence of the blow struck by L. C. Scipio Asiagenus at them during the 80ies of the 1st century BC. This might explain why the Scordisci were not mentioned among the people, against whom the Roman Republic was waging wars by the middle and the second half of the 1st century BC.
