The Gracchus brothers caused political turmoil in the Republic with their attempted reforms of agrarian legislation that sought to transfer land from wealthy landowners to poorer citizens. Tiberius was murdered by members of the Roman Senate and conservative Optimates faction. In 123 BC, Gaius took the same office as his brother, and revived the land reform programme. With a broad coalition of support, Gaius held his office for two years until support from the people weakened. The consul Lucius Opimius raised a mob to assassinate Gaius who fled and committed suicide in 121 BC.

When Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus was elected to the office of Tribune of the Plebs in 133 BC and began pushing for a programme of land reform, even liberal senators were agitated by the proposed changes, fearing their lands would be confiscated. After appealing to the people, Tiberius argued that a tribune that opposed the will of the people in favour of the rich is not a true tribune. The senators marched to the Forum, and had Tiberius and 300 of his supporters clubbed to death. This was the first open bloodshed in Roman politics for nearly four centuries.
