Sulla introduced the first formal proscriptions to "purge" Rome of his Marian rivals. While he claimed the goal was to restore the Republic, the process became a chaotic bloodbath.

Proscription represents the ultimate breakdown of concordia (harmony) and the rule of law. It turned neighbors into informants and made the state the primary agent of theft. By the time the practice faded, the psychological fabric of the Republic was destroyed, clearing the path for the rise of the Roman Empire and the absolute rule of the Emperors.
Information leading to the death of a proscribed person was rewarded with silver, while those who harbored "enemies" faced death themselves.
