	Marcus Livius Drusus - LoveToKnow Watches
		MARCUS LIVIUS DRUSUS, Roman statesman, was colleague of Gaius Gracchus in the tribuneship, 122 B.C. The proposal of Gracchus (q.v.) to confer the full franchise on the Latins had been opposed not only by the senate, but also by the mob, who imagined that their own privileges would thereby be diminished.
		His son, Marcus Livius Drusus, became tribune of the people in 91 B.C. He was a thoroughgoing conservative, wealthy and generous, and a man of high integrity.
		At that time an agitation was going on for the transfer of the judicial functions from the equites to the senate; Drusus proposed as a compromise a measure which restored to the senate the office of judices, while its numbers were doubled by the admission of 300 equites.

		There was a tribune in 91 named Marcus Livius Drusus - his father was the same Marcus Livius Drusus who opposed Gaius Gracchus in 121 - who attempted to push through legislation similar to the Gracchi: agrarian reform, the founding of colonies, an increase in the corn-dole for the poor.
		But to appease the Senate, whom he knew he had to appease, Drusus also proposed to give the courts back to the senators (Gaius Gracchus had given court control to the Equites in 123) and increasing the Senate's membership from 300 to 600, which should also appease the Equites who would become the new senators.
		After a political rally in the Forum in 91, Drusus was killed by an unknown assassin, and this inflamed the allies whose rights he was championing.

	The Use of the Tribunate for Reforms
		While the problems each addressed varied, they were invariably threats to the future and welfare of Rome, be it the poverty in the city, the abuse of senatorial power or the Italian problem.
		The abuse of the new system which occurred was due to the failure of the Equites to rise to the responsibilities Gaiuslegislation placed upon them,[20] and not due to the policies themselves.
		Even the less drastic measures of Saturninus, who made provisions for allotments to the Latins and Italians who had contributed their full share to Mariusvictories and the conferment of full Roman franchise upon a select number of them[21], was rejected by the Roman urban proletariat.
