What of Gaius Gracchus?
Tiberius's brother Gaius does not get a mention in the Gracchus episode, even though he followed in Tiberius's footsteps and met a similar end. We get no hint that Tiberius even had a brother.

shareThey probably felt that if they covered Gaius too, they would just end up telling the same basic story over again. Which, if so, is understandable. Still, I was a bit disappointed Gaius wasn't included. He at least deserved a mention at the end. But it was a great episode anyway.
Actually on the Youtube video I watched of this episode, text at the end does talk about Gaius. But it's not part of the episode; it was added by the person who uploaded the video.
