Rome
- Rome was on the brink of Civil War
- People broke in and ransacked the home of Tiberius
- His wife was there
- His father's death mask was broken
- He is running for a second term
- His mother thinks he did this for himself
- It is all about making money
Election Day
- The senate wants to break up the election
- He wants to be king
- They must protect the republic
- They want to kill Tiberius
- Beat him to death with chairs and sticks
- There was no funeral
- His body was dumped in the River Tiber
- He had changed Rome forever
- It will take Rome 100 years to over come
- The Overthrow of the Roman Republic
- The people who fought in the war often lost their farms
- Reduced to the lowest citizens - proletarian"
- Had no property
- War profiteers traded in slaves, weapons and bought abandoned farms to create Plantations
- "Just grab some land" (Tiberius Gracchus is NOT cool with that)
- Used their wealth to buy up ruined farms
