4/30/13

The next video we watched was number 6. this was about Tiberius and how once he was elected as tribune, he tries to pass laws so that the people could vote. Octavian then vetoed this causing Tiberius to rebel against him and veto every law that was attempted to be passed. This put the entire Roman government at a standstill. When Tiberius's term was up he went against the rules and ran again so he couldn't be executed, but this didn't work. The senate made up lies that he was a tyrant and killed him. Although, maybe he actually was a tyrant. The world will never know.
