The date of Pompey's conquest of Jerusalem is examined in light of the accounts of Josephus, contemporary hints found in Cicero, and the narratives of other ancient chroniclers. It is established that word of Pompey's victory in the East was received in Rome during the first half of 63 BCE and that the conclusion of the siege necessarily preceded this. Evidence for a fall victory is presented, which strongly suggests that Pompey's siege ended in 64 BCE. Pompey's organization of the eastern provinces is considered as further evidence that his time in Syria was briefer than is typically maintained
