On the beginning of sullan proscriptions
The article is devoted to the question whether a wave of uncontrolled murders preceded and caused Sullan proscriptions. In modern scholarship these proscriptions are often considered as an instrument that should have curbed the bloody chaos, though some authors believe this plan failed. Having analyzed the point of view of F. Hinard, H. Heftner, and J. Urso, the author concludes that there was no disorderly massacre after the battle of the Colline Gate, because Sulla controlled the situation and was interested not only in the physical elimination of his enemies, but also in large-scale confiscations in order to enrich himself and his supporters. This task involved the legal formalization of homicides rather than uncontrolled slaughter.
