The 2nd Mithridatic wars

[Geiserik]

The next books Alma and Helaman are full of wars from 100bC till
30bC
and because we proved before that the BoM is situated in the Middle
east, we think that all these horrible wars in the BoM with
sophisticated armies, generals and stratagems were actually the 3
Mithridatic and the Jewish wars. Therefore we will first let you read
about Mithridates and than start the comparison one by one

We traced the first war, with the Ephesian Vespers and the Dardanus
peace treaty.
The second war was no more than an enforcement of the treaty by
L.Licinius, who was defeated and returned to Rome.


The Second Mithridatic War (83-82) (from www.Livius.org)
The Second Mithridatic War was a brief intermezzo of the Peace of
Dardanus, based on a misunderstanding. The first war had been
expensive
and several parts of Mithridates empire had become restless.
Therefore, the king started to recruit soldiers. The Roman governor
of
Asia, Lucius Licinius Murena, thought that the king wanted to avenge
himself and prepared for war. He invaded Pontus but was defeated. The
conflict could have escalated, but Sulla, who was now sole ruler of
Rome, ordered Mithridates to desist, which he did. He had restored
his
prestige.


Alma :13 And it came to pass that when the Lamanites saw that they
could not overpower the Nephites they returned again to their own
land;
and many of them came over to dwell in the land of Ishmael and the
land
of Nephi, and did join themselves to the people of God, who were the
people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi.
The latter part of the text refers to the settlement of old Roman
soldiers into the Roman province
