Plutarch. My man. Are you telling me Gaius Gracchus kept his audience's attention by taking off his clothes? Are you telling me other Roman politicians started doing that too??

Some people collect stamps. I collect accounts of Plutarch’s Life of Caius Gracchus 1.6., where T. Gracchus appears to his younger brother and dooms his narrative

Rome and Roads from the West

Rome and Roads from the West

Episode 17: Rome and Roads from the West Foundations of Eastern Civilization Dr Craig Benjamin (2013) Film Review I found this lecture valuable due to surprising insights on Roman history I’ve never encountered before. Benjamin traces the collapse of republican rule in Rome to the economic collapse it experienced following its 16- year battle with the Carthaginian general Hannibal. During his…

Murder of Tiberius Gracchus

The murder of Tiberius Gracchus and why it was the being of the fall of the Rome Empire and why it's so relevant to modern-day political failures

The murder of Tiberius Gracchus is one of history’s most significant murders and events that contributed to and marked the beginning of the fall of the Roman Empire when Tiberius was murdered in 133 BC and his brother, Gaius Gracchus, was murdered in 121 BC. The Roman Senate murdered both Gracchus’s brothers, with Tiberius himself beaten to death by Roman senators, similar to Gaius Julius…

the funniest thing on the internet is a livejournal post from 2011 about colleen mccullough's masters of rome series that lists all the ways julius caesar is allegedly sexy and then ends with a whole paragraph of being absolutely Shocked that octavian and agrippa weren't canonically fucking. and then also the author of the post is the person who wrote dta

#like. the infinitely long spn fanfic that i only know about bcs gaius gracchus is in it apparently? #this is extra funny to me personally bcs a) i read this one lj post in like 2017 and b) i read the character tags for dta #and could Tell Instantly that whoever wrote it was a Colleen Enjoyer. and then i looked them up and was like. wait. #this is the person from thee masters of rome lj post???????????? #beeps

i made a paladin called tibby two years ago (short for tiberia) and because i am not very original she had a brother named gaius who i am now playing in a followup campaign and he adopted a last name when he changed guilds so now he is gaius gracchus

#again because i'm not very original. #especially as there were so many gaiuses but honestly. gaius gracchus rolls off the tongue so nicely #mp3 #d&d

Gracchi Brothers

Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus (c. 163-133 BCE) and his younger brother Gaius (c. 154-121 BCE) were tribunes of the plebs in the Roman Republic. Serving in 133 BCE, Tiberius introduced a land reform but was beaten to death after his term. Eleven years later in 122-121 BCE, Gaius reaffirmed his brother's land reform and attempted to curb corruption. He met the same fate as his brother.

anyway favourite thing i learned from this book today is maybe someone standing behind Gaius Sempronius Gracchus during speeches with a tiny ivory flute, tooting whenever he was using his voice badly

"The same Gracchus (as you may learn, Catulus, from your client Licinius, an educated man, who used to be his slave secretary), during his speeches to the assembly, would keep hidden behind him an expert with a little ivory flute who would quickly blow a note to rouse him when he relaxed his voice or call him back when he strained it.’ ‘Indeed I have heard just that,’ said Catulus, ‘and often marvelled at the man’s careful practice as well as his knowledge and learning.’

(from Cicero's On the Orator, in Ancient Rhetoric by Thomas Habinek).
