Document Summary
Killed by being beaten with the leg of a stool. Saw themselves as equally as powerful in politics. A decree of the senate (senatus consultum) in legal principle purely advisory, but in conventional practice authoritative. Tiberius goes to the people bypassing the senate: killed by senators who fear popular tyranny. 123: tribunate of gaius sempronius gracchus: follows brother but pursues more radical populist programme. 121: senatus consultum ultimum (final decree), lucius opimius, death of gaius. 113- 105: roman defeats by teutones and cimbri. Novos homo (not of wealthy stature- rose up) Because rome did not give citizen rights to all allies. They fought and now they have citizen rights- but not voting rights. Genocide- slaughter of any roman or italians in asia or asia minor. Marius was a commander in africa and escaped to there. 88: marius and tribune publius sulpicius rufus (was a popularis of the italian allies) vs. lucius cornelius sulla.
