The election of Tiberius Gracchus to the Tribunate in 133 BC is considered by historians to mark the beginning of a Revolution, which ended with the destruction of the Roman Republic. Using Plutarch, Life of the Gracchi 1-21 (Coursepacket pp. 135-144) discuss whether Tiberius Gracchus was a revolutionary or not. Put differently, did he intend to make major changes in political practice at Rome or did he make a series of ad hoc decisions to deal with practical problems of the moment?
