Historical person
163 BCE–134 BCE
Tiberius Gracchus was a Roman tribune whose land reform programme in 133 BC challenged senatorial power. His killing by political opponents marked a major escalation in the violence of late Republican politics.
In Vincent B. Davis II’s Blood in the Forum, Blood in the Forum places Gaius Marius back in Rome after campaigning in Spain, just as the reform programme of Tiberius Gracchus turns land, poverty and military service into matters of public confrontation.
Series
The Marius Scrolls are short Roman novels centred on Gaius Marius before his dominance of late Republican politics. They work as companion pieces to the Sertorius Scrolls, showing the early military and political experiences that shaped Marius and the Republic before the Social War and Sullan crisis.
