    Explanation
    The Gracchi, Tiberius Gracchus, and Gaius Gracchus were Roman politicians who began to confront the issue of land reform implemented by Caesar. They were brothers who advocated for the redistribution of land to address the growing wealth disparity in Rome. Tiberius Gracchus served as a tribune of the plebs and proposed a law to limit the amount of land an individual could own. Gaius Gracchus continued his brother's work and passed several agrarian laws to provide land to the poor. Their efforts to challenge the established aristocracy and address social and economic issues ultimately led to their untimely deaths.
