What do you call Caligula and Nero, and Commodus?

During the Republic period how about Cornelius Sulla, and not to mention the way Cicero died at the hands of being proscribed.

So yes proscription was indeed something that was done for money.

I play the game for fun more then for challenge, so I think you can endure pretending to be Cornelius Sulla.
