In Florus' account, Lepidus also wanted to repeal Sulla's acts. Florus thought that this would have been fair if he had done this without destabilising Rome. However, in his opinion, he did not because he recalled the survivors of Sulla's enemies which, he felt, he did for no other purpose than for a war. He also wanted to return the estates which had been confiscated from the men Sulla had executed and sold to private individuals (the proscriptions). Such a demand would destabilise Rome. Presumably the men who bought the confiscated property would resist such a measure.
