▁proposed ▁solution ▁was ▁to ▁address ▁the ▁lack ▁of ▁man power ▁for ▁the ▁emp ire ▁at ▁that ▁time . ▁Non eth eless , ▁despite ▁it ▁having ▁been ▁well ▁thought ▁through , ▁it ▁still ▁called ▁for ▁the ▁Republic ▁to ▁move ▁past ▁Roman ▁trad itions , ▁controvers ial ▁because ▁keeping ▁old ▁trad itions ▁was ▁very ▁important ▁to ▁the ▁political ▁el ites ▁of ▁Rome . ▁Still , ▁T iber ius ▁stood ▁his ▁ground ▁and ▁went ▁against ▁tradition ▁because ▁he ▁believed ▁in ▁the ▁potential ▁of ▁his ▁land ▁reform ▁program mes . ▁Because ▁of ▁his ▁opposition , ▁T iber ius ▁decided ▁it ▁would ▁be ▁best ▁to ▁remove ▁Marcus ▁Oct av ius ▁from ▁office . ▁Now ▁because ▁T iber ius ▁G rac chus ' ▁vote ▁to ▁determine ▁whether ▁or ▁not ▁Marcus ▁Oct av ius ▁should ▁be ▁removed ▁from ▁office ▁was ▁successful ▁in ▁the ▁sense ▁that ▁it ▁was ▁decided ▁in ▁T iber ius ' ▁favor , ▁things ▁were ▁able ▁to ▁change . ▁Once ▁Marcus ▁Oct av ius ▁was ▁removed ▁from ▁office , ▁the ▁Ple be ian ▁trib unes ▁came ▁together ▁and ▁reached ▁the ▁decision ▁that ▁the ▁v eto ▁of ▁T iber ius ' ▁program mes ▁of ▁land ▁reform ▁should ▁be ▁n ul led . ▁Marcus ▁Oct av ius ' ▁v eto ▁was ▁n ul led ▁and ▁void ed ▁because ▁he ▁was ▁no ▁longer ▁in ▁office ; ▁because ▁of ▁this , ▁his ▁decision ▁was ▁rev oked ▁and ▁no ▁longer ▁valid . ▁ ▁The ▁primary ▁source ▁for ▁Marcus ▁Oct av ius ▁is ▁Pl ut arch ' s ▁life ▁of ▁T iber ius .
