Tiberius Julius Caesar Augustus, Emperor of Rome, was killed because he was a bloodthirsty tyrant, a serial sadistic pedophile, and had ordered the execution of several high ranking and popular Roman citizens.
Gaius Gracchus was killed by the Roman Senate because of a series of reforms he instituted that cost several wealthy families money and political power, which led to a minor civil war. He also claimed to be morally superior to all of his contemporaries, calling himself the "most virtuous man in Rome."

∙ 13y agoThe Gracchi support land reforms in ancient Rome. They supported the oppressed Plebeian class against their own class of Patricians, or noble class. For this crime they were both assassinated by other Patricians and Senators - because they tried to divide the vast landholdings of the Patricians amongst the common people.

Who are the Gracchus Brothers?
The Gracchus brothers were two Roman reformers. They wanted to fix problems without going through the Senate. Tiberius became a tribune, so he could appeal directly to the people. He wanted to limit the amount of land people could own, and he proposed that the Senate should give public land to the poor. Senators beat him to death with chairs they were sitting on. Gaius, his brother, continued on with Tiberius' ideas once Tiberius was dead, but was eventually forced to commit suicide to maintain his honor (before he was beaten to death with chairs, too.)
How did Tiberius Gracchus policies attack the Senate Patrician class?
By his proposal for agrarian reforms that would (among other things) limit the amount of acreage any citizen might posess. This would have been a blow to the the large (often Patrician) landowners, many of whom held seats in the Roman Senate. The resulting conflict with the Senate finally led to Tiberius Gracchus being killed by his political enemies. His land reforms however were finally implemented under popular pressure.
When Asia minor became a Roman province how did it benefit Rome?
Asia minor became a province bit by bit but probably the most significant transfer of power in the region happened when king Attalus III of Pergamum died and left his kingdom to the Romans in his will. This happened in 133 BC at a very interesting time in rome and the money from pergamum went to an unusual use. there was a class struggle of sorts going on at the time where a tribune called Tiberius Gracchus was trying to fairly redistribut public lands to people and the rich senators were blocking his attempt. the money from the lands in Pergamum allowed Tiberius to carryout the land reform without funds from the senate and increased Tiberius' popularity enormously. In the end though, the senators fearing his popularity and perhaps forshadowing Julius Caesar years later, clubbed Tiberius to death in the forum. He is often looked back as the first communist and was revered by Karl marx
