Gaius Gracchus

Gaius Sempronius Gracchus (154-121 BCE) was a Tribune of the Plebs during the Roman Republic, who attempted to Reform the Roman Agrarian Laws.
His brother Tiberius Gracchus was also a Tribune of the Plebs who had passed an Agrarian Reform Law called the Lex Sempronia Agraria.

In 133 BCE, his elder brother Tiberius Gracchus had attempted to pass reforms of the Agrarian Laws but the Roman Senate had organised a Riot in which he was murdered by a mob.
In 123-122 BCE, when Gaius Gracchus was in turn elected as Tribune of the Plebs, he was determined to pass the same Reforms in memory of his brother.
His Reforms caused a violent reaction from the Roman Senate and he was forced to commit suicide. 3,000 of his supporters were murdered afterwards by the dictator Lucius Opimius.

The Agrarian Laws passed by Tiberius Gracchus in 133 BCE were revived and added to by Gaius Gracchus in 123 BCE.
