Overview

The Asiatic Vespers refers to a coordinated massacre of Roman and other Latin-speaking inhabitants across western Anatolia in early 88 BC. This event was orchestrated by Mithridates VI Eupator as a calculated effort to purge the region of Roman political and economic influence.

Estimates suggest that approximately 80,000 people were killed during this systematic violence. The scale and nature of the slaughter have led some modern historians to classify the incident as an act of genocide, and it served as the immediate casus belli for the outbreak of the First Mithridatic War.
