Historical background
MINUTIA
(134 BC)
Caius Minucius Augurinus and Titus Minucius Augurinus seem to have been brothers. They restored the memory of an ancestor, prefect of Annone in 135 and 134 BC, in the midst of an institutional and food crisis. In the year 620 (AUC., Ab Urbe Condita, since the foundation of Rome), Publius Cornelius Publius filius Scipio Africanus Æmilianus II and Caius Fulvius Quintus filius Flaccus are consuls. The role of the Gracchi is very important on the agrarian level. Tiberius Gracchus, who will be a tribune of the people in 133 BC, takes up his campaign remarks and wants to impose the agrarian law, "lex agraria" and thus opposes the senatorial party. Finally Tiberius Gracchus will be assassinated when he was about to be re-elected.
