Tiberius Gracchus donned mourning clothes and played to the crowd, bringing his children to the assembly and begging the people to care for them and their mother, as he desperately wanted to pass his agenda which would have the people benefit from Rome's growing empire.
Tiberius uses his political savvy to convince Romans to take over King Atollus’ kingdom, claiming his will instructed that the Roman people were to be heirs. He then allocates a portion of Atollus’ treasury towards funding the work of the Land Commission.
Tiberius Gracchus broadened his platform to include further limits on military service, the right to appeal verdicts of judges, and barring senators from serving on juries to engage urban plebs, besides wearing black mourning clothes and going round with his children securing pledges from his supporters ahead of the election.
