	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.

		Gaius was also a superb orator, which is particularly pertinent in the example of his speech to the senate, where as Plutarch notes, "he roused the people's emotions with sentiments and he possessed a powerful voice and spoke with overwhelming conviction".
		Gaius attempted to further the Agrarian settlements initiated by Tiberius, to relieve the suffering of the urban unemployed and poor, to reduce the power of the ruling nobility and to resolve the increasing discontent of the Latin and Italian allies by offering them Roman citizenship.
		Gaius also introduced the Equestrian class as a third political force, which would further balance the government and weaken the power of the senate, and within ten years of the Gracchi's death they would ally themselves with either the senate or the people for their own political gain.
