Monday

Today in class we finished watching the movie on Rome.  We learned all about Tiberius Gracchas and his legacy.  He lived for the people in honor of his father and wanted to help get the land back to the poor that was stolen from them.  Tiberius became a tribune and threatened all of the patricians and so they started to make rumors about him.  They said he would try to become king and this ruined his reputation.  On the day he was going to try to be reelected, the senate killed him.  They had no funeral for him, just dumped is wounded body into the Tiber River and let him rot there.
