Also found in: Wikipedia | 0.06 sec. |
Gracchus, Tiberius Sempronius(born c. 169—died June 133 BC, Rome) Roman aristocrat and tribune (133 BC). He sponsored agrarian reforms to restore the class of small independent farmers on which the Roman economy and military depended. Although a traditional system only 30 years before, it was seen as radical by his Senate enemies. He was assassinated in a riot sparked by senatorial opponents angered by his unorthodox political tactics. His brother Gaius Sempronius Gracchus enforced his reforms.
