THE ROMAN TIMES II/VI/XXXVI Your look into the most glorious empire ever! Rome, Roman Empire Emergency News Alert! By: Thoedocassus Merv It seems as if now both of the Gracchus brothers have been murdered. Only 12 years after the death of his brother Tiberius, Gaius was found dead, beaten to death by the Senate. Tiberius died at the age of 30. He was an excellent and eloquent reformer in his life, but none more so than when he was elected Tribune in 133 B.C. Tiberius was killed when he was attempting to get more land for the Plebeians. When Attalus of Pergamum died, his land was up for grabs. Tiberius saw it as an opportunity to give something back to the Plebeians… but Marcus Octavius had other plans for it. During a Senate rally in 133, Marcus killed Tiberius and so, also killed off any chances of that land going to any Plebeians. Now today, after a Senate rally, Gaius has now been pronounced dead. Gaius, who was 33, was like his brother in the sense that he wanted to give back to the Plebeians. He, however, was far less eloquent and was much fierier, while Tiberius was quite reserved. Gaius, was also Tribune, but was elected in 123 and 122 B.C. He wanted to continue to strive for what his brother died trying to achieve. He too wanted more rights for Plebeians and went so far to get them, but died trying. He was surrounded by the Senate earlier today and was stabbed and beaten to death. The brothers did, however, succeed in a way as many reforms have been proposed and a lot of good will come from the work of these two brothers in years to come. They will always be remembered for their amazing reform work and the differences in their styles of public Source: Title: The Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Rome VOL. 3 speaking, as well as for the inner connection they had in their goals in life.
