	Sulla and the proscriptions
		Lucius Cornelius Sulla was consul in 88 BC (and again in 80 BC) and dictator from 82 to 79 BC.
		When he was still a proconsul in 82, he planned and executed the proscriptions against his enemies for revenge, especially from the Marian camp, and against rich Romans because he needed money to pay his veterans.
		Both writers see Sulla as vindictive, ferocious, greedy and destructive, but they say he becomes even more of a butcher and a tyrant during the proscriptions and his dictatorship.[7] The numbers of the victims quoted at the onset of the proscriptions don’t quite agree in the separate accounts however.
