The verb proscribere properly signifies to exhibit a thing for sale by means of a bill or advertisement: in this sense it occurs in a great many passages. But in the time of Sulla it assumed a very different meaning, for he applied it to a measure of his own invention (Vell. Pat. ii.28), namely, to the sale of the propertyof those who were put to death at his command, and who were themselves called proscripti. Towards the end of the year 82 B.C. Sulla, after his return from Praeneste, declared before the assembly of the people that he would improve their condition, and punish severely all those who had supported the party of Marius (Appian, B.C. i.95). The people appear tacitly to have conceded to him all the power which he wanted for the execution of his design, for the lex Cornelia de proscriptione et proscriptis was sanctioned afterwards when he was made dictator (Cic. de Leg. i.15, de Leg. Agr. iii.2, &c.; Appian, B.C. i.98). This law, which was proposed by the interrex L. Valerius Flaccus at the command of Sulla, is sometimes called lex Cornelia (Cic. c. Verr. i.47), and sometimes lex Valeria. Cicero (pro Rosc. Am. 43) pretends not to know whether he should call it a lex Cornelia or Valeria (comp. Schol. Gronov. p435, ed. Orelli). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 mins (2003-10-29 13:01:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Also: http://wredmond.home.texas.net/alittera.html advertisement : proscriptio, praeconium, praeconia orum Reference: http://latin.realdictionary.com/english/advertisement.asp Reference: http://www.ku.edu/history/index/europe/ancient_rome/E/Roman/... |
