The Life of Caius Gracchus

In this compelling biography from Plutarch, the life of Caius Gracchus unfolds against a backdrop of political turmoil and sacrifice. Following the assassination of his brother Tiberius for championing the poor, Caius attempts to retreat from public life. However, spurred by a dream where Tiberius urges him to continue their shared struggle for the working class, Caius steps into the role of tribune, ultimately facing a fate similar to that of his brother as he, too, is assassinated for his reformist ideals.
