Abstract: This article explores L. Cornelius Sulla’s control of elections during his dictatorship from 82 to 80 b.c. and analyzes the immediate impact of this control on elections in Rome in the early 70s. Drawing on approaches employed by political science to help understand the intent behind holding uncompetitive “authoritarian elections,” it offers a novel approach to the study of ancient elections. It then explores elections in the immediate aftermath of his dictatorship, tentatively arguing that the desired long-term effect was to suppress and provide structures to control electoral competition even after his dictatorship. Abstract: Cet article explore le contrôle exercé par L. Cornelius Sylla sur les élections lors de sa dictature (82–80 av. j.-c.) et analyse l’impact immédiat de ce contrôle sur les élections à Rome au début des années 70. En s’inspirant d’approches employées en sciences politiques pour identifier les raisons qui sous-tendent la tenue d’« élections autoritaires » non compétitives, il propose une nouvelle façon d’étudier les élections antiques. Par la suite, il explore les élections tenues immédiatement après la fin de la dictature de Sylla, et suggère que l’objectif à long terme était de créer des structures capables de contrôler la compétition électorale même après la fin de sa dictature.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
