Was Gaius Marius murdered

Answer 1

According to most historians, Marius died of natural causes in 86 BCE. Arguments to the counter however involve precedence. Like Gaius Marius, both Gaius Gracchus and his brother Tiberius Gracchus supported land reforms that sought to redistribute land holdings (at that time, the only commodity that held any sustained economic value and thus wealth) among the landless and poor, especially to the common legionaries that fought during the Punic Wars and the later wars against the Germanic tribes. Tiberius was murdered by the chief priest of the Roman Senate (133 BCE) and his brother was killed in 121 BCE by order of the Senate. Gaius Marius' death occurred in 86 BCE, right in the middle of civil war. Some argue he may have been poisoned while he occupied the city of Rome to make it look like a natural death. But lack of evidence states that no, Marius was not murdered.
