	Gracchus - LoveToKnow 1911
		Gaius then decided to act; against the wishes of his mother he became a candidate for the tribuneship, and, in spite of the determined opposition of the aristocracy, he was elected for the year 123, although only fourth on the list.
		Gaius also proposed the establishment of colonies in Italy (at Tarentum and Capua), and sent out to the site of Carthage 6000 colonists to found the new city of Junonia, the inhabitants of which were to possess the rights of Roman citizens; this was the first attempt at over-sea colonization.
		Gaius managed to escape across the Tiber, where his dead body was found on the following day in the grove of Furrina by the side of that of a slave, who had probably slain his master and then himself.

	Blossius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gaius Blossius (2nd century BC) was, according to Plutarch, a philosopher and student of the Stoic philosopher Antipater of Tarsus, from the city of Cumae in Campania, Italy, who (along with the Greek rhetorician, Diophanes) instigated Roman tribune Tiberius Gracchus to pursue a land reform movement on behalf of the plebs.
		After the death of Tiberius Gracchus, Blossius was interrogated by the consuls on the matter.
		Blossius went to the province of Asia, where he took part in Aristonicus' popular uprising against Rome, aiding in the organization of the Heliopolis state.

		TIBERIUS SEMPRONIUS GRACCHUS, consul in 238 B.C., carried on successful operations against the Ligurian mountaineers, and, at the conclusion of the Carthaginian mercenary war, was in command of the fleet which at the invitation of the insurgents took possession of the island of Sardinia.
		Having thus gained over the city proletariat, in order to secure a majority in the comitia by its aid, Gaius did away with the system of voting in the comitia centuriata, whereby the five property classes in each tribe gave their votes one after another, and introduced promiscuous voting in an order fixed by lot.
		The judices in the standing commissions for the trial of particular offences (the most important of which was that dealing with the trial of provincial magistrates for extortion, de repetundis) were in future to be chosen from the equites (q.v.), not as hitherto from the senate.

		Gaius, for example, devotes a fair amount of space to procedure, and even discusses a form of procedure that was all but unused in his own time.
		Blossius Celadus, the judge, shall condemn C. Marcius Saturninus for 18,000 sesterces in favour of C. Sulpicius Cinnamus; otherwise he shall absolve.
		As Gaius and Justinian present it, the law of actions asks us to take a step back from the specific actions themselves, to examine them somewhat apart from the facts under which each developed, and to describe the ways in which they differ from or resemble one another.

		She was a major factor in fashioning his subsequent image as a martyr for the popular cause, which was gaining momentum in Rome, largely because of Tiberius' land reform program.
		Her influence on her younger son Gaius, who, as tribune in 123 BCE, lionized his brother's efforts and became leader of the popular movement, must have been just as strong.
		In one of her letters she begs Gaius not to employ the same methods of radical reform as did his brother.

		Gaius then tried to pass a law that would make sure Carthago would be colonised by plebeians from Rome, but the senate sabotaged this plan and he had to flee.

		Gaius sought Roman citizenship for those Italians who had fought with Rome's armies, and he advocated helping the landless among these veterans by founding a colony where Carthage once stood.
		They disseminated false rumors about the failure of Gaius' project at Carthage, and they managed to turn enough of Rome's citizens against Gaius that he lost his bid for a third term as tribune.
		Gaius rallied his supporters against this, and he gathered bodyguards around himself.

	ValMax
		Tiberius Gracchus was thought to have been an enemy of the fatherland--not without reason, since he had preferred his power to her safety.
		But Blossius was unwilling to let an honorable silence or prudent tongue guard his own safety, lest he abandon to any degree the memory of this unfortunate friendship.
		The horror of his eventual fall was clearly and openly announced to Gaius Gracchus.

		And she gives an astonishing answer: Ampliatus wrote on tablets because Romans traditionally consigned their most important transactions to tablets -- tablets which (pace Gaius) were well on their way to being written contracts: "the document as the act itself".
		She is surely right -- contra Gaius and the scholarly tradition -- to regard stipulations as unitary acts normally involving tablets (39-41, 112-20, 253-65).
		Their discipline is scholastic, not scientific: if Gaius says that stipulation was a verbal contract, no amount of evidence from practice will ever convince most Romanists otherwise.

		Along with the philosopher Blossius, who had tutored and supported Tiberius Gracchus, and had fled to Pergamum after Tiberius' death, Aristonicus sought to establish an idealistic utopian kingdom which he called the City of the Sun, with its inhabitants whom he called Heliopolitae, followers of the sun god Helios.
		After Smyrna one comes to Leucae, a small town, which after the death of Attalus Philometor was caused to revolt by Aristonicus, who was reputed to belong to the royal family and intended to usurp the kingdom.
		Blossius committed suicide, Pergamum became the Roman province of Asia.

	Spartacus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Whatever his origins, we know that Spartacus was trained at the gladiatorial school of Batiatus, named after its owner Lentulus Batiatus in Capua.
		Spartacus took his ideas from Blossius of Cumae, which can be summarized as: "the last will be the first [and vice versa]." (This is also a frequent Biblical quote of Jesus Christ, made early in the next century after Spartacus.)
		At Picenum in central Italy, Spartacus defeated the consular armies, then pushed north and at Mutina (modern-day Modena) they defeated yet another legion under Gaius Cassius Longinus, the Governor of Cisalpine Gaul ("Gaul this side of the Alps").

		Gracchus the elder and Cornelia had twelve children, of whom only three survived to adulthood: Tiberius (born in 163), Gaius (born in 154), and the daughter Sempronia.
		She had had Tiberius and Gaius educated -- an education that emphasized public duty, the maintenance of godliness and the "divine spark of reason" in men.

		I was acting as assessor to the consuls Lænas and Rupilius to try the conspirators, and Blossius pleaded for my pardon on the ground that his regard for Tiberius Gracchus had been so high that he looked upon his wishes as law.
		However, it is quite true that Gaius Carbo and Gaius Cato did follow Tiberius Gracchus; and though his brother Gaius Gracchus did not do so at the time, he is now the most eager of them all.
		Both words are from the same root in Latin; and love is just the cleaving to him whom you love without the prompting of need or any view to advantage—though this latter blossoms spontaneously on friendship, little as you may have looked for it.

		In like manner the army of the governor-- apparently of the Hither province--Claudius Unimanus was destroyed, that of Gaius Negidius was vanquished, and the level country was pillaged far and wide.
		Trophies of victory, decorated with the insignia of the Roman governors and the arms of the legions, were erected on the Spanish mountains; people at Rome heard with shame and consternation of the victories of the barbarian king.
		To ensure the completeness of the blockade, Scipio ordered Gaius Laelius to attack the camp at Nepheris, where Diogenes now held the command; it was captured by a fortunate stratagem, and the whole countless multitude assembled there were put to death or taken prisoners.

		C. Blossius of Cumae, when he had come to entreat me, because I (Laelius) was acting in an advisory capacity towards the consuls Laenas and Rupilius, wanted me to forgive him because, he said, he thought so highly of Ti.
		So I said, "Even if he wanted you to set fire to the Capitol?" "He would never have wanted that" Blossius replied,"but if he had I would have obeyed." You can see what a wicked thing to say that was...
		and so Blossius, because of this madness, and since he was terrified of the new judicial commission, fled to Asia.

		Diophanes was a refugee from Mitylene, the other was an Italian, of the city of Cuma, and was educated there under Antipater of Tarsus, who afterwards did him the honour to dedicate some of his philosophical lectures to him.
		In his second law, the one that provoked the most opposition, he proposed that citizenship be granted to all Italians (in order to increase his power base).
		The consuls hunted him down, and, in their final conflict, Gaius Gracchus killed himself and several thousand of his followers were killed or executed.

		On this commission was Tiberius, his brother Gaius and his father in law.
		Many ancient sources believe Tiberius’ motive was it was a grudge he held against the senators though this is not likely as Tiberius had other means with which he could have got his revenge.
		Some feel that his education by Diophanes and Blossius, who taught him Greek philosophy and ideals, may have sparked this obligation but even the most avid supporters of Tiberius cannot support this.

		You must remember, Atticus, for you were very intimate with Publius Sulpicius, what expressions of astonishment, or even indignation, were called forth by his mortal quarrel, as tribune, with the consul Quintus Pompeius, with whom he had formerly lived on terms of the closest intimacy and affection.
