his Feet Embracing and Kissing 'em which with the lamentable Sighs and Tears of the fair Train so far mov'd his great Spirit that lifting 'em up and embracing 'em he cry'd O Mother you have gain'd the Victory most fortunate for my Country but most destructive to my self and accordingly drew off the Volsci into their own Country Tullus who now envy●d his Glory represented this Act to the Volsci as the highest Piece of Treason against 'em and procur'd him to be cut in Pieces scarce allowing him to speak for himself as Dionysius relates it This was against the Consent of the greatest Part of the Volsci who bury'd him Honourably adoring his Tomb with Arms and Trophies as a Great General and a Famous Warrior and the Roman Women themselves were permitted to mourn for him 10 Months all acknowledging him to be the most valiant and most couragious Man in this age III. Great and many Publick Rejoycings were made at Rome for Coriolanus's Retreat and the Senate decreed to grant the Women what Honours they wou'd demand but they only desir'd to have a Chappel ded●cated to Woman's Fortune built in the same Place where they had deliver'd their Country which was done at the Publick Charge The Consuls soon after took the Field with a considerable Army but had no occasion to use it for the Volsci and Aequi joyning Forces had such violent Contests about a General as they almost ruin●d each other The year following the New Consuls Aquilius and Sicinius overthrew one the Hernici and the other the Volsci among whom fell Tullus their General The next Year the Consuls Virginius and Cassius took the Field the Aequi falling to the former as the Volsci and Hernici did to the latter But the Volsci immediately begg'd Peace having lost their best Men in the last Battel as soon after did the Hernici who now refus'd any longer to contend with the Romans for Superiority Cassius having receiv'd Money and Provisions from 'em as Persons who own'd themselves Conquer'd made a Truce but referr'd the Articles to the Senate But the Fathers after resolving to accept of their Alliance left the Conditions of the League to Cassius's Discretion who now affecting Sovereignty and desiring Popularity granted 'em equal Privileges with the Latines which together with his Triumph lately obtain'd without performing any thing for it procur'd him much Envy and Hatred Cassius now grown Insolent by his three Consulships and his two Triumphs was resolv'd to push on his Design of Sovereignty and the more to gain the Favour of the People propos'd the Division of some late conquer'd Lands among the Meaner Sort together with such Publick Grounds which through the Neglect of the Magistrates had been seiz'd on by the Rich. Then he recounted to the People his many Services to the State under his three Consulships insinuating That his extraordinary Care and wise Management in those Times had shewn him no less than sole Governour and that since he had already taken Charge of the Common-wealth it was but just and reasonable he shou'd continue to do it This Speech tho' so strongly ●avouring of Tyranny wou'd have been far more serviceable to him had he not brought in the Latines and the Hernici as Sharers in these Lands which he did to gain their Favours tho' with the weakning his Interest with the Common People This Proposal concerning the Lands met with many Oppositions in the Senate created Fears and Jealousies among some and caus'd various Discourses among others But the Commons Forwardness and the Disturbances that were like to follow caus'd the Senate after many Debates to publish their Resolution for dividing the Lands among the Commons withal excluding all new Allies and Associates as having no Reason to expect a Share of what was gain'd before their Times This was the famous Agrarian Law which afterwards occasion'd such Mischiefs and Disturbances but at present the Promise of it appeas'd the People and ruin'd Cassius's Designs For the year after his Consulship the Quaestors set a day to him to answer to the Charge of Aiming at Tyranny before the People where he was accus'd of a Multitude of Crimes of that Nature and notwithstanding his premeditated Orations his many Services and the Intercession of all his Friends and Clients in Mourning he was condemn'd to be thrown down the Tarpeian Rock and was straight executed accordingly Soon after his Death the Commons were very urgent for the Execution of the Agrarian Law which Cassius had set on foot but the Senate being resolv'd to divert it as much as possible caus'd the Consuls to prepare for an Expedition The Plebeians inrag●d at their Disappointment and the Loss of a Person whom they expected to have been so serviceable to 'em refus'd to List themselves the Tribunes always protecting 'em from Punishment but the Name of a Dictator and their suspecting Appius to be the Man soon frighted 'em into a Compliance so Cornelius one of the Consuls wasted the Territories of the Veientes as Fabius the other did those of the Aequi. Not long after the Commons refusing to List themselves the Consuls found means to sit in the Campus Martius out of the City where the Tribunes had no Authority and there they severely punish'd and fin'd such as did not appear to the great Mortification of the Popular Faction A third time the Consuls gain'd their Designs by getting over one of the Tribunes to their side a way they were often forc●d to make use of afterwards In the mean time they had several Wars abroad with the Volsci and Aequi and soon after the Veientes there being many Ravages on both sides with some Battels but of no great Note or Consequence At home were greater Contests and Quarrels between the Consuls and Tribunes concerning this Agrarian Law the former always declining the execution of it and the latter as constantly urging it but with no other effect than the blowing up of Dissentions and the increasing of Factions And this was the troublesome and unhappy State of Rome for about five Years together as may be seen at large in Dionysius IV. In the midst of these Troubles when Fabius and Virginius were Consuls two Years after Xerxes's Expedition into Greece the Veientes by the Assistance of other of the Hetrurians march'd with a powerful Army against the Romans Virginius oppos●d 'em with another but was so overpower'd by 'em that he had lost his Army had not Fabius came from the Aequi with timely Succour and brought him off Upon the Roman Retreat the Veientes made Incursions almost to the Walls of Rome to the great Injury and Dishonour of the City and what added more to their Inconveniencies was the lowness of the Treasury and the Discontents of the People about the Agrarian Law This reduc'd the Senate to very great Extremities till at last the whole Family of the Fabii a noble Stock generously offer'd their Service to be a constant Guard to the Frontiers
Chamber to meditate of something to speak to the People the next Day in the Morning he was found dead in his Bed not without Suspicion of Treachery from his Wife and Mother-in-Law the latter of which was Mother to the Gracchi Nevertheless being then in no favour with the People little enquiry was made after his Death though he was a Person of extraordinary Merits and had been justly esteem'd the Bulwark of the State The Owners of the Land still made Delays in the Division and some believ'd that the Partakers of the Dividends should likewise have the Freedom of the City which however lik'd of by others was highly displeasing to the Senate While the People were variously discoursing of these Matters Caius obtain'd the Tribune-ship and bearing a great Enmity to the Senate he found a fair Opportunity to shew it He preferr'd several Laws among the rest one for dividing the publick Corn to every Man Monthly in which Laws he shew●d himself rather more stirring and active and more dextrous than his Brother Then procuring his Office to be continu●d to him another Year he began more strictly to inspect into the late Corruptions of the Senate such as their taking Bribes their selling of Offices and such like unjust Proceedings Whereupon he found Means to transferr the power of judging corrupt Officers from the Senators to the Equites or Knights which gave the latter an extraordinary Authority and made a remarkable Change and Alteration in the whole Government These Equites were first instituted by Romulus and though they were originally in the Common-Wealth yet they had no particular Authority Rank or Order till this Law of Gracchus by which it was enacted That these Iudgments● should be peculiar to them So that whereas at first there were only two Orders or Ranks namely Patritian and Plebeian which through the Incroachments of the People were afterwards distinguish'd only into Senatorian and Plebeian By this Law and especially by the Procurement of Cicero afterwards the Equites became a distinct Order Thus now the Roman Citizens consisted of three Ranks or Orders namely the Senatorian which included all the Patritians and such of the Plebeians as could rise to be Senators the Plebeian which still continu'd the same as formerly and the Equestrian which before had always been included in the Plebeian and had been only distinguish'd by their Way of Service Gracchus took the fairest Opportunity that he cou'd expect for preferring this Law for the Senators were become odious of late because for Money they had acquitted Cotta Salinator and Aquilius Persons capitally guilty of Corruption But the Great Power of these Equites became extreamly burdensome to the State till by Degrees their Authority came to be diminish'd The Equites alone were wont to Farm the publick Revenues and Customs from the Censors and from thence had the Name of Publicans These were the principal of the Equestrian Order the Ornaments of the City and the Strength of the State who made up so many Companys as there were Provinces subject to the payment of Toll Tribute Custom or Impost Caius grew more and more in favour with the Commons and was invested with a larger Authority than ordinary which he manag'd with extraordinary Prudence and Cunning being a Master of much Eloquence and many other Accomplishments And the more to gratifie the Commons he took special Care about the High-ways making 'em extraordinary handsom and pleasant as well as usefull and convenient erecting likewise pillars of Stone at the end of each Mile to signifie the Distances from Place to Place For Caius fi●ding the Senators to be his Enemys he endeavoured still more to ingratiate himself with the People by other new Laws Particularly he propos'd that a Colony of Roman Citizens might be sent to the People of Tarentum and that all the Latines should enjoy the same Privileges with the Citizens of Rome But the Senate dreading the Effects of Caius's Power forbid the Latines to come near the City at such time as they knew his Laws would be propos'd and the better to satisfie and please the People they gave Leave to the sending of 12 Colonies Caius thus frustrated of his Designs departed into Africk with Flaccus his Collegue intending to plant a Colony where Carthage stood calling it Iunonia but there he also met with a Disappointment the Bound Marks of the intended City being continually remov'd in the Night time by Wolves as some Authors relate it whereupon the Augurs and South-sayers pronounc'd the Design unlawful Caius having been twice Tribune stood for it a third time and had many Votes but his Collegues offended at his violent Carriage at this time procur'd Minucius Rufus to be chosen into his Place who began to abrogate many of his Laws wherein he was seconded by Opimius the Consul who was a profest Enemy to Caius and endeavoured to find some colourable Pretence to put him to Death Whereupon Ca●us at the Instigation of his Friends especially Fulvius resolv'd presently to raise Forces and at an Assembly in the Capitol he and many of his Friends went thither privately arm'd It happen'd that one Antilius a Serjeant coming down from the Capitol cry●d out to Fulvius and his Friends Ye factious Citizens make way for honest Men whereupon they immediately slew him This Murther caus●d a great Disturbance in the Assembly and Caius himself was very angry with those of his Party for giving his Enemies so much Advantage against him and endeavour●d to excuse himself but could not be heard by reason of the Tumult so together with his Friends and Confederates he retir●d home the Consul keeping strict Watch all Night in the City The next day Antilius's Corps was brought upon a Bier through the Forum and expos'd to open view just before the Senate House with design to stir up the People to a Revenge The Senate invested Opimius with an extraordinary Power and all the Equites were order'd to be in Arms which forc'd Caius and all his Friends to betake themselves to Mount Aventine where they fortify'd themselves offering Liberty to all Slaves that shou'd come in to them The Consul press●d hard upon Caius and Proclamation was made that whoever shou'd bring the Head either of Caius or Fulvius shou'd receive their Weight in Gold for a Reward Caius finding himself in no Condition for a long Defence in a short time fled into a Grove beyond Tiber and procur'd his Servant to kill him who immediately after kill'd himself and fell down dead upon his Master One Septimuleius carry'd his Head to Opimius and 't is said that to make it weigh the heavier he took out the Brains and fill'd the Skull with Lead Fulvius flying to a Friend's House was betray'd and slain and by the Severity of Opimius no less than 3000 Persons of this Party were put to Death Thus fell Caius Gracchus above 10 Years after his Brother Tiberius Gracchus and fix after he began to act much in
