Ancient Rome The Rise and Fall of
an Empire
Tiberius Gracchus
"Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus (Latin:
TI·SEMPRONIVS·TI·F·P·N·GRACCVS)
(b.168-163 BC d.133 BC) was a
Roman politician of the
2nd century BC and brother of
Gaius Gracchus. As a
plebeian tribune, his reforms of
agrarian legislation caused political turmoil in
the
Republic. These reforms threatened the illegal
holdings of rich landowners in
Italy. He was murdered along with many of his
supporters, by members of the
Roman Senate and supporters of the conservative
Optimate faction."
"Gaius Sempronius Gracchus (154 BC–121 BC) was a
Roman politician in the second century BC and
brother of the ill-fated reformer
Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus. His election to
the office of
tribune in the years 123 and 122 BC and
reformative policies whilst in office prompted a
constitutional crisis and his death at the hands of
the
senate in 121." Source:
