GRACCHUS, TIBERIUS SEMPRONIUS (c. B.c.), father of the tribunes, and husband of Cornelia. Although an opponent of the two Scipios (Asiaticus and Africanus), as tribune in 185 he was a member of the commission sent to Mace donia to investigate the complaints made by Eumenes II. of Pergamum against Philip V. of Macedon. In 181 he went as praetor to Hither Spain, where he was successful both as a soldier and administrator. Censor in 169, he was associated with the somewhat reactionary policy of his colleague Claudius Pulcher. They tried to curb the growing power of the capitalists (the equites), and restricted the political influence of the freedmen by confining them to the city tribes. He visited Asia as an ambas sador in 165 and 161, and was consul again in 163.
