Years: 62BCE - 62BCE

The Roman military has not been very successful in their campaigns against the Nabataeans.

In 62 BCE, Marcus Aemilius Scaurus accepts a bribe of three hundred talents to lift the siege of Petra, partly because of the difficult terrain and the fact Scaurus has run out of food provisions.

Hyrcanus, who is a friend of Aretas, is dispatched by Scaurus to the King to buy peace.

In so obtaining peace, King Aretas retains his whole possessions, including Damascus, and becomes a Roman vassal.

The country remains independent but pays imperial taxes.

(Roman policy seems to have been to maintain Nabataea as a buffer state against the desert tribes.
