[4] Drusus was set up as tribune of the plebs by the Senate in 122 BC to undermine Gaius Gracchus' land reform bills.
To do this (according to the record of Appian), he proposed creating twelve colonies with 3,000 settlers each from the poorer classes, and relieving rent on property distributed since 133 BC.
He also said the Latin allies should not be mistreated by Roman generals, which was the counteroffer to Gracchus' offer of full citizenship.
These were known as the Leges Liviae, but they were never enacted, because the Senate simply wanted to draw support away from Gracchus.
Drusus was later consul in 112 BC and fought in Macedonia defeating the Scordisci,[2] even pushing them out of Thrace across the Danube.
