Marcus Perperna Veiento, proscribed in 82 BC while he was praetor in Sicily, rep- resents a very interesting case of mobility. The proscription, a much more severe measure than exile, forced Perperna to a complex series of travels through the Western Mediterranean. His movements were aimed at organizing a resistance and, if possible, concerted military action against the Sullan and post-Sullan regimes in Rome, also by joining Lepidus’ and Sertorius’ re- volts. The aim of this paper is to reconstruct in detail Perperna’s itinerary in order to appreciate the peculiar features of his movements in light of his “forced migration”.

Abstract
Marcus Perperna Veiento, proscribed in 82 BC while he was praetor in Sicily, rep- resents a very interesting case of mobility. The proscription, a much more severe measure than exile, forced Perperna to a complex series of travels through the Western Mediterranean. His movements were aimed at organizing a resistance and, if possible, concerted military action against the Sullan and post-Sullan regimes in Rome, also by joining Lepidus’ and Sertorius’ re- volts. The aim of this paper is to reconstruct in detail Perperna’s itinerary in order to appreciate the peculiar features of his movements in light of his “forced migration”.
