The Death of Tiberius Gracchus

The death of tiberius gracchus is significant because it's the first strife, the first agro happening within roman citizens since the expulsion of the kings. The implication is this is the beginning of more of this. Those who haven't been killed as well continue to suffer. They ger executed without trial. And somebody called diophanes, the rhetorician - an educated man is one of those who are executed. A certain gaius vilius was shut up in a vessel with vipers and others,. poisoned snakes and put to death in this way that just seems re unnecessary.
