Fall of Rome

-Roman Republic government lasted for 500 years
- Tiberious Grahccus the I hated kings and monarchs
- His son was also named Tiberious
-Tiberious died in battle defending his fathers beliefs that kings/monarchies were bad
- The third Punic War lasted 6 days then Carthage finally surrendered
- After capturing Carthage Rome still had to capture the surrounding lands such as Spain
- Rome had a hard time controlling lands far from it
- Made a peace treaty with Spain
- The plebeians lost land and were forces to live in the streets so Tiberious said patricians should give all plebeians some land
- Octavian kept saying Vito when Tiberious offered the law so Tiberious brought the hole government to a halt by vitoing to open things
- Octavian and other politically powerful people started saying Tiberious lied and was too powerful.
