The 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.Tiberius reforms of agrarian legislation caused political turmoil in the Republic. These reforms threatened the holdings of rich landowners in Rome.
