The Mother of Decimus Brutus and the Wife of Gaius Gracchus

What is it about?

This paper deals with the genealogy and prosopography of the Roman nobility of the Late Republic. It is focused on several problems concerning the parentage of D. Brutus Albinus, one of the leaders of the conspiracy against Caesar: the identity of his adoptive father, his relationship with Sempronia (one of Catiline's followers) and the lineage of this Sempronia. The results of the research make it possible to clarify a complicated problem of Gaius Gracchus’ relationship with Junii Bruti.
