page 279 note 1 It may be objected that the motive which the epitomist attributes to Gracchus does not fall in with this view : ‘qua equestrem ordinem tunc cum senatu consentientem corrumperet.’ But (1) the attribution of a motive is of very different value from the statement of a fact: and (2) in any case this law would have destroyed the monopoly of power possessed by the nobility, through the agency of the equites. It is in this light that Plutarch represents Gracchus himself as regarding it.
