	Gaius Gracchus
		When Gaius Gracchus in 121 BC stood for yet another term as Tribune, the senate conspired to put forward their own candidate, M. Livius Drusus with an entirely false programme which was by its very nature simply designed to be yet more populist than anything Gracchus proposed.
		This populist assault on Gracchus' standing as a champion of the people, together with the loss of popularity resulting from the failed proposal to extend Roman citizenship and wild rumours and superstitions of curses circulating after a visit to Carthage by Gaius, led to his losing the vote for his third term in office.
		The brief emergence and demise of Tiberius Gracchus and of his brother Gaius Gracchus onto the scene of Roman politics should send shock waves through the entire structure of the Roman state; waves of such magnitude that their effects would be felt for generations.

	Tiberius Gracchus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tiberius was born in 163 BC, son of Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus and Cornelia Africana.
		Gracchus then moved that Octavius, as a tribune who acted contrary to the wishes of his constituents, should be immediately deposed.
		His overruling of the tribunician veto was considered to be illegal, and the opponents of Tiberius Gracchus were determined to impeach him at the end of his one year term, since he was regarded as having violated the constitution and having used force against a tribune.

	The Hunter Gracchus by Guy Davenport (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Among the archetypes of the Hunter Gracchus is the enchanted marksman of that opera.
		Gracchus must have an arrival, a procession to a room, an interlocutor with an identity, and a more focused role as man-the-wanderer, fated by an inexplicable past in which a wrong turn was taken that can never be corrected.
		Gracchus, like Wilkie Collins’s Armadale, is brought across the quay on a bier, covered by a large Victorian shawl, “a great flower-patterned tasselled silk cloth” perhaps taken from Collins’s carpet speckled with “flowers in all the colours of the rainbow,” and like Armadale, he seems to be more dead than alive.

		Tiberius Gracchus lived to be over fifty years old, and won still greater laurels in war and peace at home and in foreign lands.
		The people seemed to feel sure that Gracchus was intending to do something for them, and they eagerly came together and voted for him, and when he was elected, they crowded into the city from all the regions about to vote in favor of the re-establishment of the Licinian laws, with some alterations.
		The eloquence of young Gracchus proved greater than that of any other citizen, and by it he ingratiated himself with the people to such an extent, that in the year 123 B.C. they elected him one of their tribunes.

	TIBERIUS SEMPRONIUS GRACCHUS AND GAIUS SEMPRONIUS GRACCHUS: AN ANALYSIS OF THEIR STATESMANSHIP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Execution of the law temporarily arrested the decline of the Roman peasantry, but many of the supporters of T. Gracchus "disappeared" into the countryside on their new lands and T. Gracchus had to rely on the support of the urban masses.
		In evaluating Tiberius Gracchus as a statesman based on the criterion of effectiveness, he was clearly a failure.
		This is not to deny his considerable personal abilities or to impugn his motives, which, although they may have been influenced by resentment toward the senate and a desire to gain greater personal power, may have been largely shaped by a genuine desire to serve Rome and help the less fortunate members of society.

		As Myles Kantor points out, it is at this point, having lost a majority of popular support, that a government can no longer carry on a policy of imperial exploitation and despotism.
