Rome video

Today in class we watched a video about Rome and Tiberius. Tiberius wanted to speak for the poor people, the rich people were taking their land; leaving them with nothing. Octavious was supposed to be Tiberius' friend but ended up going against him. Vetoing the one thing TIberius wanted for the people. When the senate saw Tiberius was gaining power, they started lying to the people; telling them that Tiberius was not going to help them and wanted to be King of Rome. Tiberius wanted to run for Trbune again but you can only run for 1 year. He tried breaking the law running again, to prove to the people that he can help them. In the summer, it was time for another election. The senate murdered him that day, throwing his body in the Tiber river.
