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.
Tiberius Gracchus also held the offices or ranks of quaestor, triumvir agris dandis assignandis, tribune of the plebs, and legatus. Tiberius Gracchus belonged to the Sempronii Gracchi and operated within Ancient Rome. Tiberius Gracchus was born in Rome.
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.
