Summary
Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus, one of the most famous figures of the Roman Republic whose death spurred the state's collapse into imperial tyranny a century after, is a multifaceted individual whose psychological nuance offers enormous literary exploration; was he a true reformer for the people of Rome who sought to instrumentalize his privilege for his constituents, or was he merely one man in a long line of demagogues who weaponized the people's will for his own gain?
This story seeks to display that depth and dialectical quality integral to Gracchus's character, supplying a vivid look into the socioeconomic crisis befalling the Roman Republic towards the end of the second century BCE.

Summary
'Home,' says Mark Antony, 'should just be the direction of whoever is most likely to let you sleep in their rooms when you're too drunk to make it back to your own.'
'I think I shall have to move to some uncharted land and make new friends, then,' returns Brutus. 'No one I know who fits that definition is a person I want to associate with a home.'
