The Gracchi challenged the senate
bringing forward new reforms
then beaten and killed by the senate
Marius creating army reforms
Building strong and loyal crimes
creating Sulla’s loyal army
marching at Rome’s gates
Sulla Stain Marius, taking power of Rome.
Caesar won many battles, and defeated Pompey
he became a dictator, and assassinated by Brutus.
A civil war started and lots of people died.
Antony and Octavian, fighting and waging war.
Divided up power and ruled separately
Antony betrayed Octavian, and married an Egyptian.
Antony was slain by Octavian, which changed to Augustus.
