I can hear them brothers Gracchus saying "Rich, please don't attack us"

            Today we finished watching the video on Tiberius Gracchus. After him announcing that he wanted to run for a second term, many Romans freaked out because of how against kings and tyrants they are. While I do think that he liked the power, I don't think he wanted to be king. Many Romans however, listened to Octavius and what he was saying about Tiberius wanting to have power. Eventually the Romans murdered him then threw him in the Tiber River without a proper burial. His brother, Gauis on the other hand, was beheaded.
             After the video, we took notes on what we learned. We also talked about the rise of Julius Ceasar. He was actually the first king since Tarquin; except he was good, smart, and well liked. However, the senate was brutally against having a king. They liked the idea of having a republic. On March 15, 44 B.C., Brutus and the Senate had murdered Julius Ceasar. It seemed childish in a sense to kill someone just because they weren't getting their way. They even passed around the knife so that each person could stab him. The ones who didn't stab him would put their hands in his blood, all of them relishing in what they had done.
