Introduction

Gaius Grakis was born in 154 BC, the same year his father died. He was destined to live his life in the footsteps of his brother, who was 14 years his elder. It was a combination of family obligation and personal revenge that drove Gaius to press his ambitious reform platform. Where Tiberius failed to win his second term as tribune, Gaius succeeded and met his own downfall seeking an unprecedented third term.
