Synopsis

In late Republican Rome, Roman society is threatened by unrelenting civil wars. The senate hopes a dictator can restore Rome to her glory and end civil unrest. Only a dictator driven by revenge against his enemies and his own personal greed edicts death sentences to citizens by posting a list of his enemies on the forum wall. The lives of the citizens, freedmen and slaves are changed with the posting. Proscriptii, the act of being proscribed, is a story of lives in turmoil, of unfettered greed, of power and wealth, of love and loss, and of ultimate retribution. A sixteen year old boy son of a welathy middle class Roman family makes preparations for his manhood ceremony. Two ex-legionaries find out the service business is not for them. A greedy patrician desires to increase his wealth in property and slaves by taking advantage of Rome's civil unrest. After thirty years of servitude a slave is ready for manumission and a worry free life of freedom, and a young slave girl looks forward to death as her only salvation. All inhabitants of Rome are affected by the dreaded word thet the dictator Sulla has decreed, Proscriptii.
