The big land owners had progressively taken over the common land when the small farmers, who made up the army, were away on campaign. The small farmers needed the common land to graze their plough ox and also supply fruits, nuts, acorns etc. This left them desperate, and had to sell their land. They could not get rural jobs as the large owners used slave labour as cheaper. The Gracchi brothers tried to stop and reverse this and were murdered for it. This was the beginning of a series of events leading to the 'Roman revolution'.

What reforms did the gracchi brothers institute after the Third Punic War?

The Gracchi tried to instill an early form of socialism on the republic. They pushed for free grain for the urban poor and for land reform for the displaced peasants. It was this land reform and their confiscation of patrician lands that got them eventually killed. The Gracchi brothers have been seen as precursors of socialism by modern socialists who idealised them. Socialism arose in the 19th century. The Gracchi brothers did not have any notion of socialism and thus did not try to instil an early form of socialism. There were just trying to address the plight of landless peasant. The reform also sought to establish private holdings for these peasants, which is not very socialistic.
