Life of Tiberius Gracchus.

Rome was once a largely democratic society, with regular elections. This Republic lasted for 500 years, but then came Tiberius Gracchus. He believed in the ideals of the Republic - fairness, decency and justice for everyone -but was appalled by Rome's aristocrats' treatment of the poor. So he unleashed the power of the mob upon the streets of Rome, with devastating consequences.

  • Thank you for posting these Roman Histories. I've always been fascinated by it. Subbed. keep up the good work.

  • dude this is bs the senate were beat they had to cheat there way to get what they wanted and the stupid people believed them then after that all they got was nothing and a good kick up the ass and starved and had there land taken BUNCH OF IDIOTS

  • @Thomaspegful those who protect the jews?

  • @Jumpingflashlight that why they say those who dont know history are doomed to repeat it

  • And that's how a republic dies; letting people have "free stuff".

    Fast forward to today: State-run welfare anyone? Social Security and pensions? Debt forgiveness?

    It's like the same shit that has gone down in the past is happening today after situationaly similar stimuli. WEIRD.

  • Seriously, that senator guy is like Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars. Especially the way he puts his hood on and says, "We must protect the REPUBLIC!"

  • @Machinetti ok..... first of all thew jews have been enlaved/ by more than the Egyptians, Romans and Germans, throughout there history they have been enslaved/deprived, and the eygptians enslaved the jews thousands of years before Rome even existed you dumbness and yea Fuck the US

  • @Machinetti

    One of the reasons why I despise the Jews more than flies.

  • He wants to be king! Kiiiing.
