I guess that you are referring to Tiberius Gracchus, not Tiberius the emperor. He did not actually set up farms for the poor. He instituted an agrarian reform which redistributed land to the poor. Many of the poor in Rome were dispossessed peasants who had lost their farms and had migrated to Rome to eke out a living there. The plots of land which the state allocated to peasants were usually too small to sustain a family. Indebtedness was also a problem for many peasants. The owners of large landed estates took advantage of distressed peasants to buy land on the cheap and expand their estates, which were worked by slave labour. The implementation of this land reform proved difficult.

Tiberius Gracchus was not the only one who attempted land reforms. His brother Gaius and several other politicians tried this, too. In the end it was Julius Caesar who was successful in implementing his land reform.

What happened to Rome after Gracchus' death?

The Republic continued as before. The lynching of Tiberius and the suicide of Gaius meant that the land reform to redistribute land to the poor instituted by the former and later pursued by the latter came to an end and that Gaius' proposed concession of citizenship to the Italic did not happen. It strengthen the conservative political faction and brought plebeian agitations to an end.


What were the political reforms desired by Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus?

The Gracchus brothers were trying to limit the amount of land someone could own, and give public land to the poor. They did not succeed, but set a dangerous example for politicians in the future. Both were eventually killed (Tiberius was beaten to death with chairs, Gaius was forced to commit suicide).

What was a product of Tiberius and gaius Gracchus's attempted reforms?

Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus attempted land reforms in ancient Rome aimed at addressing social inequality and the plight of the plebeians. Their proposals included redistributing public land to veterans and the poor, which threatened the power of the aristocracy. While their reforms generated significant public support, they also led to political turmoil and violence, ultimately resulting in both brothers' deaths. Their efforts highlighted the growing tensions between social classes in Rome and set the stage for future conflicts.

Did the roman republica ran smooth?

The Romans Republic developed a very efficient state. However, it had its conflicts. From 494 BC to 287 BC there was the Conflict of the Orders between the patrician aristocracy and the plebeians, who were the commoners, both rich and poor. The poor plebeians fought for their economic grievances: indebtedness (which at first was due to the nexus, debt bondage, which was the way rich landlords forced the peasants to work for them before their labour was replaced by slaves, and later it was due to interest rates which were still too high) and a shortage of land for the poor (this problems worsened over time as many peasants lost their farms and became landless). The rich plebeians fought to gain access to the offices of state and the senate which were monopolised by the patricians. The plebeians fought with boycotts of the military levy and through plebeian secessions, in which they left the city until the patricians negotiated with them The rich plebeians won their battle, achieved power sharing with the patricians and were co-opted into a patrician-plebeian oligarchy. They were also given equite status. This was the second highest layer of Roman society. At this point the rich plebeians turned their back on the poor whose problems were not addressed properly. Tiberius Gracchus mobilised the plebeians and enacted a land reform law aimed at redistributing land to the landless. He and his supporters were lynched by thugs hired by the patricians in 133 BC. His brother Gaius tried to implement Tiberius' land reform, introduced a grain dole at subsidised prices for the poor and tried to establish settlements around the empire where the poor could set up farms. The patricians mobilised armed Romans and mercenaries to attack his supporters in 121 BC. Tiberius fled and committed suicide. In the last 60 years of the Republic there were 12 civil wars. These were due to clashes between military leaders and the conflict between populares and optimates. The former was a progressive political faction which was sympathetic to the plight of the poor and wanted reforms to help them). The latter was a conservative political faction which favoured the aristocracy and was opposed to reforms.
