Gaius Gracchus took up the reform issues of his brother when he became tribune in BCE, ten years after the death of brother Tiberius. He created a coalition of poor free men and equestrians who were willing to go along with his proposals. In the mid s, the three main sources of Rome's grain outside Italy Sicily, Sardinia, and North Africa were disrupted by locusts and drought, impacting Romans, civilians, and soldiers.
Gaius enacted a law that provided for the construction of state granaries, and a regular sale of grain to the citizens, as well as feeding the hungry and homeless with state-owned grain. Gaius also founded colonies in Italy and Carthage and instituted more humane laws surrounding military conscription. Despite some support, like his brother, Gaius was a controversial figure. After one of Gaius's political opponents was killed, the Senate passed a decree that made it possible to execute anyone identified as an enemy of the state without trial.
Faced with the probability of execution, Gaius committed suicide by falling on the sword of an enslaved person. After Gaius's death, thousands of his supporters were arrested and summarily executed. Beginning with the Gracchi brothers' troubles to the end of the Roman Republic , personalities dominated Roman politics; major battles were not with foreign powers, but internal civil ones.
Violence became a common political tool. Many historians argue that the period of the decline of the Roman Republic began with the Gracchi meeting their bloody ends, and ended with the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BCE.
That assassination was followed by the rise of the first Roman emperor , Augustus Caesar. Based on the existing record, its difficult to know the motivations of the Gracchi: they were members of the nobility and nothing they did dismantled the social structure in Rome. There is no doubt that the upshot of the Gracchi brothers' socialist reforms included increased violence in the Roman Senate and ongoing and increasing oppression of the poor.
Were they demagogues willing to incite the masses in a bid to increase their own power, as U. President John Adams thought, or heroes of the middle classes, as portrayed in American textbooks in the 19th century?
Whichever they were, as American historian Edward McInnis points out, 19th century textbook narratives of the Gracchi supported American populist movements of the day, giving people a way to talk and think about economic exploitation and possible solutions.
