Today in Western
Civilization, we went in and started to watch a video about Gracchus the dad
and how when he died they kept his body sitting up like in a thrown and put wax
in his eyes so it looked like he was looking still, then they burned him in a “funeral
fire”/ It was also about the 3rd Punic War against Carthage with
Tiberius Gracchus and Octavius (not the one we are familiar with). If you were
someone with a lot of money you would have rather spent time with Octavius
because he had the huge house and all the drinks and money and pretty much
whatever you wanted. Tiberius Gracchus on the other hand was someone you could
depend on to help you like he helped the lady when her cart flipped over and fed
her and made her and her children feel safe. Tiberius’ mother didn’t like
Carthage, she thought it was gross. The war was very violent too, they poured
hot oil on them and then threw torches so they lit on fire and burned to death.
Tiberius was a hero and did a great job of taking his father’s place!
