Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus

Who is Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus?

Tiberius Sempronius Tib.f. Gracchus, a Roman Republican consul in the year 238 BC, was the first man from his branch of the family to become consul; several other plebeian Sempronii had already reached the consulship and even the censorship. He is best known as the father of the similarly named consul of 215 and 213 BC, and the grandfather of Tiberius Gracchus Major, and the great-grandfather of the Brothers Gracchi.

Tiberius Gracchus had a relatively undistinguished consulship, with an indecisive campaign in Sardinia, after which he apparently vowed to dedicate a temple, not completed in his lifetime. That temple was completed and dedicated by his elder son, Tiberius, the consul of 215 BC and 213 BC.

His co-consul, the patrician consul, was Pub. Valerius Q.f. Falto.
