Excerpt from Caesar's "Bellum Britannicum," De Bello Gallico, IV. 20-30, V. 8-23: With Introduction, Notes and Vocabulary Tiberius and Caius Gracchus tried reform, and were murdered by the nobles. Marius, the avenger who sprang from the dust of the Gracchi, inherited their work, and succeeded in partly enfranchising the Italian allies of Rome. He also gave form to the army which was to be such a mighty instrument in the hand of Caesar, and the force which should give permanence to the Imperial system.
