Nam postquam Ti. Gracchus, quorum maiores Punico atque aliis bellis multum rei publicae addiderant, vindicare plebem in libertatem et paucorum scelera patefacere coepere, nobilitas noxia atque eo perculsa, modo per socios ac nomen Latinum, interdum per equites Romanos, quos spes societatis a plebe dimoverat, Gracchorum actionibus obviam ierat;
For example, after Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus, whose forefathers had added greatly to the power of the nation in the Punic and other wars, began to assert the freedom of the commons and expose the crimes of the oligarchs, the nobility'guilty and for that reason panic-stricken'opposed the activities of the Gracchi, now through the allies and those having Latin status, at times through the Roman Knights, who had been estranged from the commons by the hope of an alliance with the senate.
