  • Cornelia: on Making One's Name As Mater Gracchorum
    “Cornelia: on making one’s name as mater Gracchorum” 1 “Cornelia: on making one’s name as mater Gracchorum” June 2012 Version Matthew B. Roller Johns Hopkins University © Matthew B. Roller, [email protected] Not for citation without author’s permission “Cornelia: on making one’s name as mater Gracchorum” 2 Cornelia: on making one’s name as mater Gracchorum I. Introduction In his Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus, Plutarch discusses the motivations that may have spurred Tiberius Gracchus to propose his agrarian law immediately upon entering office as Tribune of the Plebs in 133 BCE. Tiberius may have been incited by Diophanes the rhetorician and Blossius the philosopher, who were his friends and teachers (§8.6); or by rivalry with another ambitious aristocrat called Spurius Postumius (§8.8); or by his own observation of the condition of the Tuscan countryside (§8.9); or by the direct urging of the people themselves (§8.10). Plutarch also reports (§8.7) that some writers say that his mother Cornelia spurred him on, by constantly reproaching her sons that the Romans still addressed her as the mother-in-law of Scipio (Aemilianus), and not yet as the mother of the Gracchi.1 In a perceptive discussion of this passage, Burckhardt and Von Ungern- Sternberg observe that it is premature for Tiberius’s mother to demand great things of her elder son. Any contemporary aristocrat would have lodged hopes for making a great name not in the lowly tribunate, but in the higher magistracies, above all the consulship with its accompanying military commands.2 Tiberius, about 30 years old in 133, was at 1 Plut.

Part Two will cover the years from 1920 to the beginning of recorded sound in 1929. This is the first comprehensive study of the beginning of cinema’s earliest depictions of the journalist, mostly newspaper reporters, editors, and publishers. Newspaper fiction flourished at a time when journalism “was a revolutionary force, tearing up traditions, redefining public morality, and lending voice and encouragement to the disenfranchised. It reflected currents sweeping through every phase of American life. The skyrocketing circulations, the manic search for exclusive news, the sensational headlines, and the concentration of newspaper ownership were signs of an America changing from a rural society to an urban and industrial one. Since journalism so clearly mirrored and so loudly supported the new order, it became the preeminent symbol for the mechanization, standardization, democratization, and vulgarization of culture.”1 Historian Howard Good points out that the 1890s “represented a watershed not only in American journalism but also in American history.
