CHAPTER XVI COMITIAL LEGISLATION FROM THE GRACCHI TO SULLA 134-82 I. _The Gracchi_ 134-122 The work of agrarian reform, after the feeble attempt of Laelius,[2240] was taken up in a more determined spirit by Ti. Sempronius Gracchus, who early in his tribunate, upon which he entered December 10, 134, promulgated his famous lex agraria. It was a repetition, with some modifications and additions, of those articles of the Licinian-Sextian statute which related to the same subject. The last instance of the prosecution of trespassers against the earlier law given in our imperfect records belongs to 193,[2241] and it must still have been in force in 167 when Cato[2242] recited its terms in his “Oration in behalf of the Rhodians.” Probably about the time of Flaminius the agrarian provisions of this statute were renewed with the addition of articles, (a) providing that a specified proportion of free laborers should be employed on public lands held in possession. (b) requiring holders to take an oath to obey the law. (c) increasing the penalty for violations.[2243] Tiberius had matured his plan before entering office. Assisted by experienced friends, among whom were P. Licinius Crassus, P. Mucius Scaevola, the most eminent jurist of his generation, consul designate for 133, and Appius Claudius Pulcher, his father-in-law, he expressed the articles of his rogation in the most careful terms and with especial regard for vested interests.[2244] Its chief provisions were— (1) No one shall hold more than five hundred iugera of the public land, excepting that in case the holder has sons he may occupy an additional two hundred and fifty iugera for each of two sons.[2245] (2) The occupier shall receive compensation for improvements on the lands which the law compels him to surrender.[2246] (3) The five hundred to one thousand iugera retained by the occupier shall be granted to him by the state in perpetuity and free from all dues.[2247]
