Document Summary

Also a tribune of the plebs: first tribunate exactly 10 years after his brother (123 bc); second in 122. The ladder" system for the allies stalling at the full citizenship level. Gg tries to make it easier for them to get full citizenship he doesn"t get. Italians starting to grumble about this very far: strengthened the tribunate. This works fairly well for gg: he is protected while he is a tribune. Gg was not a tribune when he was killed so the office was better respected in his case than it was in his brother"s, who was killed while still being a tribune but gg was still. 2 killed for his reforms and his actions as tribune his opponents just waited until he left office to do it this time. Things were starting to degenerate in rome like the wild west, there were posses, street battles, etc.
