Notes bibliogr.
In 129 BCE, Scipio Aemilianus once again stood in the centre of domestic politics, which above all were shaped by the quarrels following the Gracchan Agrarian Law. At that time, Scipio distinguished himself as a strong and persistent opponent of the agrarian reform and thereby causing extreme civil disturbance. Furthermore, his sudden and unexpected death was so mysterious that an assassination seemed very likely even to his contemporaries. This article deals with the concrete political intentions that Scipio proposed to translate into action immediately before he died: besides of depriving the Agrarian Commission of power and the at least partly abolishment of the Gracchan Agrarian Law, he probably strived, as consul, to tackle and solve the agrarian question by himself.
