* prohibition: a decree that prohibits something * banishment: rejection by means of an act of banishing or proscribing someone * an imposed restraint or restriction

In ancient Roman times a proscription would be a notice that listed a person or persons that were on a list of those that were considered criminals and were punished by death and there belongings confiscated. The proscribed or as we might call it today, wanted criminals, their sons and grandsons were permanently barred from public office or serving in the Senate. The word proscription listed for ancient Roman times as, the public offer of a reward for the head of a political enemy.

Around 1560 the proscribed would have their name published as being condemned to death and their property forfeited to the state.

Current meanings of proscription include, a dooming to death or exile.
