| description | <p>The figure of Tiberius Gracchus the Elder has remained quite shadowed in most of the publications on the Middle Republic even though he was undoubtedly one of the most prominent leaders of his generation (first half of the 2nd century BC). He was a member of a side branch of the <em>Sempronii Gracchi</em>, and apparently not even the eldest son. Moreover, his father did not hold the consulship. However, Tiberius Gracchus carried out the consulship twice, celebrated two <em>triumphi </em>and became the first man in his family holding the censorship. He even married to Scipio Africanus’ daughter, Cornelia. It is noteworthy that, compared with the rest of his contemporary family, there are several references to his activity during the minor magistracies, in which he would show some of the characteristics that that would define him: profesionality, moderation and some other virtues that would make him an exemplary Roman.</p> |
