332. Among those accused of complicity in the revolt of
Fregellae was Gaius Gracchus himself, on his return from Sardinia.
He defended himself with success. But his services in the island,
particularly his wide influence, shewn in procuring a gift of corn
for the army from the Numidian king, had only alarmed the
Senate. The censors of 125-4, before quitting office, called
him to account for coming home before his commander. Again
he justified himself, by shewing that his conduct had been above
the ordinary standards of the day. In the summer of 124 he
stood for the tribunate, and was elected, but only fourth in
order. We hear of great enthusiasm and crowds of country
voters, perhaps attracted by the wish to set the land-reform
going again. But events had strengthened the influence of the
'best men,' and Gaius was not able to secure the unanimous
vote of the Tribes.
