“If history is written by the victorious, what if the victors lied?”
― Michael Duncan

“As the historian Appian records: “So perished on the Capitol, and while still tribune, Gracchus, the son of that Gracchus who was twice consul, and of Cornelia, daughter of that Scipio who robbed Carthage of her supremacy. He lost his life in consequence of a most excellent design too violently pursued; and this abominable crime, the first that was perpetrated in the public assembly, was seldom without parallels thereafter from time to time.”
― Michael Duncan, The Storm Before the Storm: The Beginning of the End of the Roman Republic
