OT: Role of Gracchus brothers in decline of Roman Republic Weren't these two patrician brothers murdered by elements of the conservative senatorial order because the two had successfully followed a "popular" policy as Tribunes of the People? I don't like algore either, but I don't understand the analogy.(??) The murder of the two brothers went unpunished and accomplished the object intended by the perpetrators. It did set a precedent for the use of violence to accomplish one's political objectives and in that sense did play a role in the demise of the Republic about a hundred years later.
