Tiberius Gracchus

Tiberius Gracchus (circa 163-133 BCE) was a Roman politician and reformer known for his efforts to address economic inequality in ancient Rome. As a tribune, he proposed land reforms aimed at redistributing public land to poor citizens, challenging the wealthy elite's control. His initiatives sparked significant political conflict and social unrest. Though he aimed to improve the lives of common Romans, Tiberius faced strong opposition and was ultimately killed in a violent uprising by those who viewed his reforms as a threat. His legacy influenced future movements for social and political reform in Rome.
