The "Ephezian Vespers"" in Ammonihah

[Geiserik]

The "Ephesian Vespers" in Ammonihah ? The 1st Mithridatic war.


Now that we have proved the Mormon wars to be the Mithridatic and
Jewish wars, we will identify the famous historical Ephesian Vespers,
the start of the 1st Mithridatic war.


(quotation Apollonian)
In 90bC, the Roman Senate sent Manius Aquilius to the east, and he
restored Nicomedes to Bithynia and Ariobarzanes to Cappadocia. The
Roman leader so urged Nicomedes to raid Pontus, thinking that
Mithridates would understand the lesson.However, the king of Pontus,
learning that the Romans were now also involved in a civil war
against
their Italian allies, decided to retaliate, and in 89bC, war broke
out. In 88 bC, in a measure of the hatred felt for the Romans in
Asia,
Mithridate "wrote secretly to all his satraps and city governors
that
on the thirtieth day thereafter they should set upon all Romans and
Italians in their towns, and upon their wives and children and their
freedmen of Italian birth, kill them and throw their bodies out
unburied, and share their goods with King Mithridates" (III.22).Tens
of
thousands were massacred: Valerius Maximus (XI.2.4) records 80,000
deaths, Plutarch (Sulla, XXIV.4), 150,000, in what has been called
the
Asian or Ephesian Vespers . Mithridates now was sovereign of all Asia
Minor.


The BoM (81 BC)


Alma 16:9 And thus ended the eleventh year of the judges, the
Lamanites
having been driven out of the land, and the people of Ammonihah were
destroyed; yea, every living soul of the Ammonihahites was destroyed,
and also their great city, which they said God could not destroy,
because of its greatness.


And great it was the Roman province Asia city Ephesus
(Wikipedia)
The city bore the title of "the first and greatest metropolis of
Asia."
It was distinguished for the Temple of Artemis (Diana), who had her
chief shrine there, for its library, and for its theatre, which would
have been capable of holding 25,000 spectators. It was, like all
ancient theatres, open to the sky; it was used initially for drama,
but
during later Roman times gladiatorial combats were also held on its
stage. The population of Ephesus has been estimated to be in the
range
of 400,000 to 500,000 inhabitants in the year 100 bC, making it the
largest city in Roman Asia and one of the largest cities of the day.
Ephesus also had several major bath complexes, built at various
points
while the city was under Roman rule. The city had one of the most
advanced aqueduct systems in the ancient world, with multiple
aqueducts
of various sizes to supply different areas of the city,including
major
aqueducts.
