Marco Perperna Veientone. La mobilità di un proscritto in fuga

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”.
