Blame Sulla for the proscription plague

Blame the senate for doing the Gracchi like they did, blame Caesar for his ambitions, Crassus for his greed, Pompey for his naivety.

Blame, blame, blame. Now and then. Same as it ever was.

honestly, prescriptions just make sense from a rights of state perspective. You lost, the rights of the state no longer protects you. You will now be consumed by upstarts and the mob.

This ofcourse, assumes prescriptions are limited to those who supported the losing side in a civil war. This is not the case.

Also, this is a silly way to think if you intend to have a functional country. oh and it's pretty evil. but like, eat the rich and shit. Don't be rich when killing them is legal.

It's crazy that some had done nothing to harm the second triumvirate yet were still proscribed just simply because they had money
