The End of Tiberius

In class today, we finished the movie on Tiberius' rule in Rome. The government did not like the amount of power that he was getting especially because the people sided with him mostly because he wanted to give their land back. Once he got to position of Tribune and got laws voted in, the government got very angry and tried to plot against him. They told the people he wanted to be king and the people didn't like that. Tiberius tried to run for Tribune again which was against the law and this angered the government leaders greatly. They beat him to death at the voting and dumped his body in the river. Tiberius is still remembered as the hero who changed Roman government.
